This book delves into the hidden abuses, excessive fees, and restrictive practices of Doctors' Commons, a court system with roots in the Middle Ages that still oversees probate and certain other matters in England. The author argues that the system is outdated, inefficient, and costly, and calls for major reforms. The book traces the origins of the abuses to the 16th century, when the courts were handed over to the Protestant church and began charging exorbitant fees. It also discusses the role of proctors, the only legal professionals allowed to represent clients in the courts, and their opposition to reform. The author concludes that Doctors' Commons is a relic of a bygone era that needs to be brought into the 21st century. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into a hidden corner of the legal system and makes a compelling case for reform.
