Dear
Mr O’Sullivan,
First,
I must extend my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to you for your
prompt actions and your response to my letters, since as a direct
result of the actions which lead to the case
(Ref:
BF102062), and my inability to attract legal aid and the required
legal representations,
I
have subsequently suffered additional losses and I now find myself
trapped in the legal quagmire.
The
sequence of events can be outlined as follows;
As
a direct result of (BF012062), I was evicted from my home,
I
was subsequently subjected to horrendous harassment and physical
assault by my landlord (from 1998 to 2000) – (neither
the local authority or the police took any action, my previous
solicitor got legal aid, but again did nothing
– fortunately I
have recently in (2002), found another solicitor and the case is
being prepared for the courts,
- (ref: Mr David Brocklehurst, Burley & Geach, 2 West Street,
Haslemere, Surrey GU27 2AG)
As
a direct result of (BF012062), and my inability to secure legal
representations, I attempted to bring the case before the courts by
myself, I was at no time given any assistance by the courts, instead
I was treated by Judge Godchild of the Brentford County Court as a
leper,, Judge Plaskow thought it was indeed very amusing that the
court had lost all the papers that I had submitted, the full
proceedings can be heard from the tapes.
The
lack of proper access to the justice system resulted subsequent in
costs being awarded against me, this resulted in a Creditors
Bankruptcy Petition being filed against me in the High Court of
Justice, (ref: Guildford County Court - No 307) by the defendants,
In
spite of the various problems, I developed a new project which I
hope would lead me back to employment, this new project was
subsequently stolen by a former Business Link employee and presented
as his own work, he has subsequently received public funds to
promote the project, I am now stuck in the third legal dispute as I
try to get a disclosure order
which
won’t be heard until November, (ref: GCU 301363)
I
have followed diligently the various legal protocols in relation to
these matters, since I cannot obtain legal aid in presenting my
claim, but continue to find the legal process extremely difficult in
(a)
getting information from the courts or (b)
proceed with my cases at a reasonable pace.
The
first sad fact is that in both cases listed above is that the courts
offer no assistance whatsoever, they do not like dealing with
individuals who can’t afford a solicitor,
They
go to great pains to explain that they are not legally qualified to
give any legal advice – when any query is put to them, they
instead advise that you see a solicitor, which in my case has proved
neigh impossible.
The
second sad fact has been that my life has been all but destroyed by
parties who have stolen my business and the legal system which
through its processes, mitigates against me in my efforts t obtain
justice.
I
can only hope that now I have brought the matters to your attention,
that justice will prevail and the system of justice will not only
work against me but also in case where proved will also work in my
favour, I conclude by re-iterating that my cases is based on fact(s)
supported by witness statements and documentary evidence.
Best
regards
Lloyd
