1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this website or purchasing any services from Magistrate Review, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, you must not use this website or its services.
By purchasing any service from Magistrate Review, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

2. Nature of Service

Magistrate Review provides independent written assessments of criminal case materials submitted by clients. These reviews are delivered by experienced, currently sitting magistrates and are intended to offer informal, non-binding insight based on judicial experience.

We are not solicitors and do not offer legal advice or representation. Our reviews do not replace professional legal counsel and should not be treated as such. They are opinion-based, limited to the material provided, and must not be relied upon as a substitute for qualified legal advice or advocacy.

3. No Legal Advice or Instruction

Magistrate Review does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or instructions. All content and commentary provided in our written reviews is strictly opinion-based and intended for general informational purposes only.

We may offer a view on how a court may perceive a set of facts or the possible implications of a particular plea, application, or approach. However:

- This does not constitute a recommendation or instruction.
- No aspect of our service should be interpreted as legal advice.
- Clients remain solely responsible for their conduct, decisions, and case outcomes.
- Reliance on our commentary or opinion is entirely at the client’s own risk.

You are strongly encouraged to seek legal advice from a qualified solicitor before making any decisions that could affect your case.

4. No Guarantee of Outcome

We do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any hearing, trial, application, or sentence. Our reviews are based only on the information and documents submitted and do not consider evidence or developments not disclosed by the client.

Any general reference to likely outcomes or court perception is speculative and must not be interpreted as a promise or assurance of a particular result.

5. Scope and Limitations of Service

Our services are limited to reviewing criminal matters that fall within the jurisdiction of magistrates’ courts in England and Wales.

We do not review civil, family, Crown Court-only matters, or appeals.

We reserve the right to decline to review any case without explanation if it falls outside our scope or is deemed inappropriate for review.

Judicial Discretion & Limitation of Liability

Magistrate Review provides independent case reviews based on the information submitted, judicial experience, and established guidelines. While every effort is made to offer accurate, realistic, and informed commentary, the views expressed in our reviews are opinions — not predictions or guarantees of judicial outcomes.

Courts retain full discretion in the interpretation of facts, the weight given to mitigation or aggravating factors, and the sentence ultimately imposed. Variances in sentencing may occur due to the specific composition of the bench, newly introduced evidence, or points of law raised during proceedings.

By using our service, you acknowledge that:

• The review represents a judicial perspective, not a definitive forecast of outcome.

• Magistrate Review is not responsible for decisions made by the court or for any consequences arising from a different outcome to that suggested in the review.

• Our reviews are not grounds for appeal and should not be relied upon as legal advice.

Clients are strongly encouraged to seek formal legal representation where appropriate.

6. Limitations of Use

You agree not to use this website or our services for any unlawful, misleading, or inappropriate purposes. This includes, but is not limited to:

- Misrepresenting your identity or the nature of your case
- Submitting content that is unlawful, offensive, or malicious
- Attempting to use our reviews as formal evidence or authority in court proceedings

7. Refund Policy

All sales are final. Due to the bespoke and time-sensitive nature of our services, we do not offer refunds under any circumstances once a review has been delivered or work has commenced.

8. Confidentiality and Document Handling

All client information and documents submitted to Magistrate Review are treated in strict confidence and are not shared with third parties unless required by law.

Clients are responsible for ensuring all submitted material is accurate, relevant, and legally appropriate. All documents are securely deleted within 30 days of submission unless otherwise agreed.

9. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including reviews, text, branding, and design, is the intellectual property of Magistrate Review and may not be copied, reproduced, shared, or distributed without written permission.

10. Limitation of Liability

Magistrate Review and its representatives accept no liability for any loss, damage, or consequences (direct or indirect) resulting from:

- Use or misuse of our website or services
- Any decision made by the client based on the review
- Delays, interruptions, or omissions in service delivery

Our services are offered “as-is” without warranty or guarantee of any kind. Use of our website and services is entirely at your own risk.

11. Anonymity of Review Contributors

To protect the impartiality, privacy, and judicial integrity of those involved, the identities of individual magistrates contributing to this service are not disclosed. All reviews are carried out by currently sitting magistrates with active experience in criminal proceedings in England and Wales.

This anonymity does not affect the accuracy or insight of the review. All assessments are written in good faith and reflect the informed, independent opinion of a qualified and serving member of the magistracy.

Clients receive structured guidance from the Magistrate Review Team, not from an individual named reviewer.

12. Privacy and Data Handling

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how your personal data is collected, stored, and processed. By using our website or services, you consent to the handling of your information as outlined in that policy.

13. Jurisdiction and Governing Law

These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these terms at any time without notice. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website or services constitutes acceptance of any revised terms.
