I thought that this story sounded very much like Jack...

I'm surprised he did that and it took someone thirty court cases to notice.

Sorry you can call me a cynical old man, but I'm not at all surprised.
In my experience, although large organisation may have both clearly defined standards and comprehensive job descriptions, no one checks that they are being adhered to until something goes wrong.
Then an apology and a statement will be issued, saying "that lessons have been learned", and everything carries on as before.

Well, you have your hearing or trial. You don't like the results. You get a certain amount of time to ask for a different result. That gets denied, and you get a certain amount of time to file an appeal. Then you get a certain amount of time to say what you want in your record to send to the appellate court. Of course, the transcript of the hearing or trial is included, and there's a certain amount of time for that to get done. And I rather imagine that in any or all of these steps, you can ask for an extension of time.

So yeah, I can where there would be a couple dozen or so hearings done before they found out the awful truth.

Heard a story on NPR once about some Israeli politician who, through some call girl service, arranged to meet a prostitute at a hotel room. He fell dead of a heart attack when his daughter showed up.
