CORRECTIONS UNDER THE SLIP RULE TO THE TRIBUNAL’S DECISION

PROMULGATED ON 9 APRIL 2018

1. By emails dated 10 and 24 April 2018, Mr has asked for corrections to be

made to the Tribunal’s decision promulgated on 9 April 2018. Under what is
known as the slip rule, the Tribunal may make minor corrections to factual or
typographical errors where the corrections reflect what it meant to say. It cannot
correct other errors under the slip rule.

2. By amendments shown on the decision, the Tribunal has corrected errors which
can be corrected under slip rule.

3. In footnote 4, the Tribunal noted that it was not clear how Mr became
aware of Ms W’s dual role and that he had said, wrongly, that his complaint was
addressed to the Humberside Advisory Committee (HAC). Mr now says
that the address of the HAC had been found in a Ministry of Justice online
document. The fact remains that he had not addressed his complaint to the HAC
in the letter which is at [43]: footnote 4 is accurate. If Mr is suggesting that
the envelope contained a different address to the letter, this is not something that
can be dealt with under the slip rule.

4. Mr points out that the brief chronology in paragraph 5 of the decision
refers to only nine out of the 10 undelivered letters. The chronology was not
purporting to deal with every aspect of the case. The decision makes it clear that
there were 10 letters which appear not to have been delivered. There is no error
in paragraph 5
