Subject:- Complaint Review Request dated 19 September 2016

Dear Mr ~

~,

~-

---------

Thank you for your email dated 19 September 2016. I am sorry that you are not satisfied with the
response to your initial complaint and felt it necessary to escalate this matter. I apologise for the
delay in responding, it has taken me some time to review all of the information you provided and
make the further necessary enquiries. I have now had the opportunity to consider all of the
documentation you have submitted to the Court in relation to your complaint and request for a
review.
You state in your initial letter dated 11 August 2016 that your complaint regarded two separate but
related matters; proceedings in whicrt' a Council Tax Liability Order was made and proceedings
related to a Public Order Offence.
As per Mr Townell's response, the making of the Liability Order was a judicial decision and not
one that we are able to intervene in. This is also the position in relation to your conviction and
sentence for a pub'lie order offence. Tile evidenceplacea beTore-tfie-Couiiwas considered ay-me
Judge and the decisions were made. You were advised on more than one occasion of the appeal
routes available to you and it is evident from within the documentation you have provided that you
have explored these avenues. This also includes the decision not to re-open your case under
section 142 of the Magistrates Courts Act 1980, again this is a judicial decision and not something
that can be overturned by this Court - the correct route of appeal would be by way of Judicial
Review.
I acknowledge that your complaint does not relate solely to the judicial decisions made but also to
the conduct of the Judiciary involved in the decision making, responses to correspondence you
submitted to the Court and the allegation you make that the Court has not taken seriously the
allegations of fraud, perjury etc.
I am satisfied that you were made aware of the right to complain to the Judicial Conduct
Investigations Office in relation to the conduct of the members of the Judiciary that you allege, a
route which I note that you followed.

[SECURITY CLASSIFICATION]
I am also satisfied that the Court has taken all necessary steps to respond to the numerous
concerns you have raised over a significant period of time by providing you with the information
you have required on many occasions, this is also evident from the documentation you provide.
The Court takes seriously all allegations of fraud and perjury. The evidence you refer to has been
before the Court in different forms and in some instances has formed part of the evidence on
which the decisions, discussed above, were made. You also made an application to lay an
information relating to the allegations you make which was refused by Deputy District Judge
Hayles. Full reasons for his decision were made and provided to you. This is again a judicial
decision that this Court can not interfere with, the correct route of appeal is by way of Judicial
Review.
It is unfortunate that you are unhappy with Mr Townell's response but I am satisfied for all the
reasons mentioned above that he did address all of the points raised; these being issues that this
Court cannot further intervene with.
.
Should you wish to escalate this matter further you complaint should be directed to:
