David Cocks Q C Denies His Son Christmas for the son of cruel father David Cocks Q C who the father rejected from home and heart from before the child's birth never giving him a hug of love friendship or support maligning his name his mother and his childhood and encouraging others in such repose paying huge sums of money to deny his responsibilities with cruelty relish and a total lack of paternal morality
David Cocks told Sir Derek Spencer Solicitor when the baby was suffering on a life support machine "I couldn't care less he is nothing to me I will never see him."

ReplyDelete"The bitter case involving multi-millionaire Old Bailey judge David Cocks and the pupil barrister he made pregnant and then refused to marry has taken an unseasonal turn. Instead of the good cheer which should have followed after Cocks finally gave unmarried mother a £100,000 out-of-court payment - having denied paternity of their son for more than 30 years - the pair are still at war.
Part of the settlement, which was agreed in October, was that Cocks, the former chairman of the Criminal Bar Association who lives on a 173-acre estate in Rackenford, Devon, with his second wife Sarah, would at last meet David and develop a relationship.
That was the only reason I reluctantly accepted the £100,000," says Felicity, who spent years trying to extract maintenance payments for the boy before receiving a Scrooge-like £16.24p a week.
We signed a written agreement about him meeting our son, but he hasn't sent a Christmas card - let alone given any indication that he will see him as a father should.
I have already informally consulted a QC about getting the agreement we had enforced. I consider it more important than the money.
If necessary, I will take further legal action if it is possible to do so."
For years, Rugby-educated Cocks, 72, known at the Bar as the Prince of Darkness because of his shock of black hair, fought against paying maintenance for David, whose godfather was the late poet Robert Graves. Cocks has not laid eyes on his son, now a grown man, for 15 years.
During her pregnancy he tried to make Felicity, who has never married and is 14 years his junior, have an abortion.
Says a former Bar colleague of Cocks, who last year earned around £800,000: "He began his affair with Felicity when she was very young and impressionable and he was then married to his first wife.
He later divorced her and married his wife's great friend, Sarah. However, he is semi-retired now, so theoretically he has plenty of time for filial visits. "
Cruel indeed
just saw this appalling
It was from Private Eye how spiteful and tricky can a guy get .
"Hallo !
Brilliant Barrister David Cocks QC, hero of the Roger Levitt fraud trial in which he led for the crown, has been in court again-on his own behalf. Sadly for David whose many admirers hope will soon don a judges robes, the decision went the wrong way.He was in court over the long standing matter of maintenance for his lovechild, born to his former pupil barrister, Felicity.The original order for maintenance was for £25,from which he decided to deduct tax ,leaving the child with £16.24p a week. After more than a decade the mother applied to increase the maintenance. At Marylebone Magistrates court she applied to have the order increased and for it to extend until the end of the boy’s fulltime education.
"Mr Cocks opposed this and appealed to the higher court. Joanna Dobson QC ,submitted that “The father has used his advantageous financial position to engage in litigation which is wholly misguided, which may have had as its purpose the intimidation of the mother.” The High Court Judge hearing the appeal decided to award indemnity costs-the highest level possible-against poor old David!
luckily he is not in the same league as those errant fathers who are pursued by the child support agency. David owns a £500,000 house in North London, a £3000 race horse, and still has a few coppers left over to take part in some modest pheasant-shooting and stag and fox hunting."
