This got me thinking and now I come to the point.

The MoM sent Sirius to Azkaban for life without a trial, probably
without even talking to him.

Fudge had Barty Crouch effectively murdered (Dementors Kiss) without
even speaking to him then spent a year denying the return of
Voldemort. So what did Dumbledore say about it, "now he can't
testify." There was no question as to whether it was within Fudge's
authority to do this, ergo I assume that it is within his remit.

There are possibly others but these two will do, it's just that I find
this a bit scary. >>


Susan Hall presented a paper on this exact issue at Nimbus - 2003 last
year, and if you keep your eye on http://www.hp2003.org this week,
you'll find out how to order a copy of the Nimbus - 2003 proceedings
on CDRom or book, so you can read, among other things, her take on the
enormous problems with the wizarding world's legal system.
