Officials have blamed a testing error after a string of cartoon and movie characters, including Tinker Bell and Captain Hook, were listed as defendants at a Crown Court.

Initial lists issued on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court suggested Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Buzz Lightyear and Sleeping Beauty were due for mention hearings on Thursday.

Disney favorites Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck were also listed as being due before a judge from 10am.

Social media posts from lawyers and court watchers speculated that the names had been posted due to a testing error or as a joke by an outgoing member of staff.

Real-life defendants also featured in the daily list, including some appearing by video-link from prison.

Twitter was having a field day.



HM Courts and Tribunals Service confirmed on Wednesday night that the error was due to the characters being inputted to test an upgraded listing system.

“Sorry for the error – we've been testing a new upgrade to our case management system and the names were created as test cases but should have been deleted before the lists were issued/published," The service said in a tweet.

“Our local team has updated the final list online, removing the test names/cases."

It's too bad. We just know Mickey Mouse would charm any judge.

Tennis Player Sparks Debate After Getting Slapped With Massive Fine Over Blatantly Sexist Comment About French Open Umpire

If Adolfo Daniel Vallejo was hoping to make headlines during the French Open, he succeeded. Unfortunately for him, the attention had less to do with his tennis and more to do with a sexist comment that quickly sparked backlash and left him a little lighter in the wallet.

The Paraguayan tennis player was fined $65,000—reportedly one of the largest sanctions in Roland-Garros history—after claiming his French Open match should not have been umpired by a woman. The controversy erupted following his dramatic five-set loss to French teenager Moïse Kouamé on May 28.

Most parents want certain things for their children, like financial security, happiness, and love. Some would go further and dream of a very successful career, perhaps in a particular field.

But it's too easy for those dreams to drift into a place of projection, where parents dream of their children having everything they didn't have. This can often lead parents to steer their children toward the path of their dream, so they can live vicariously through their children's success.
