Chapter xx – Me

 

I’m an ordinary bloke. No airs or graces, no family money or background.

 

My father was a marine engineer who got mucked up in the merchant navy in the Second World War. Very shy man addicted to drink, gambling, and selfish behaviour. Not the best of role models, but in his own way he was my dad. He died twenty years ago from his excesses of drink and smoking. My dad’s family originated from Scotland and Stepney in London.

 

My mum was a rent collector for a local council who rose to a senior treasury position before she retired. My mum has style. My mum’s family originated from Manchester and Limehouse in London.

 

I was born in Barking in the 50’s but I grew up in Africa as a kid, and lived in many African countries as well as the UK. At the age of four months while in Rhodesia, in a mud hut since this was the standard of employee accommodation available to my father at the time, I contracted sleeping sickness and malaria. I suffered a prolonged period of high fever and as a result I developed connective dyslexia, which is a condition where the two halves of the brain over-connect. I have severe problems spelling any word that I can’t remember since I am unable to construct words from syllables. I get a real bad headache if I try to spell any word containing 2 or more of the same letters. Bit of a bind, but that’s the way the cookies fall in life sometimes.

 

I’m an honest man, and I would never knowingly harm or steal from another person. I have an overbearing sense of justice and fairness, and I am unable to sleep at nights if I feel that I’ve been less than fair to anybody.

 

My dyslexia problem has helped me excel in my chosen profession of computing. IT situations and problems often require an analysis of the issue from many perspectives. I am able to view many aspects of a situation very quickly, and discard all those that are not useful;. I’d be crap at any number of professions, but at computing I’m very good.

 

I am academically challenged, and I was only able to pass the most basic levels of GCSE’s at school and college. I’m not dim, or feeble minded, I just find it very hard to pass formal examinations.

 

I’ve made many mistakes and I’ve let down many people in my life, on a multitude of issues. I’ve offended many people, and I certainly have my faults. But none of these are serious faults, they are in fact quite minor personal problems and issues.

 

I’m the sort of idiot who helps others, and invariably I get ripped off by some shyster from time to time. No good deed ever goes unpunished. I’ve saved people from life threatening situations, usually by providing First Aid to people who have suffered an accident or injury. But I’ve also willingly assisted friends, relatives, co-workers and complete strangers with advice, assistance, money and help when they are in trouble. I’m a bit of a soft touch really. Several of the people I’ve helped have ignored me when I in turn had problems, and I feel that this reflects on their lack of character and moral fibre. In several instances I’ve helped somebody, and at a later date they have demonstrated that they are my enemy. What goes around comes around, and hopefully one day they will need my help again. Tough shit if they do.

 

I’m a very lucky person with many profitable gambling successes. I know when I’m lucky, and apart from a weekly lottery ticket, I refrain from gambling except when I feel lucky. I firmly believe in luck and destiny.

 

Many times I’ve hesitated when about to step into a lift, car, train or airplane. Something tells me not to, and in these instances a catastrophe has subsequently occurred that would have resulted in serious injury or even my death. Shit happens, but I believe that it was not my destiny at that point to time and something or somebody helped protect me.

 

When I left school with my limited academic qualifications I tried my hand at many types of employment. I worked in the docks as a welder, I worked as a bus conductor, I worked in a shop, I worked in an office for the Falkland’s Island Company, and I worked as an electrician. Eventually I decided to go back to college to take GCSE’s, and from there I became a computer operator with a unit trust company. Within six months something clicked, I understood what computers were all about, and I never looked back. After various jobs for banks I worked for Citibank for many years as a systems consultant, and eventually joined Citibank as a Vice President. I travelled the world with Citibank, and I visited many countries. I met a number of fine outstanding people in Citibank who I respect to this day, and I’d willingly work for some of them for free to help them out if they were in trouble. I also met some real professional arseholes as well, but that is to be expected.  I admire the Citibank of the 80’s and 90’s, the people I worked with, the management, the regional management in Europe and Asia, my very good friend the Far East regional IT head Jeff Chittenden, and the CEO of Citibank at that time John Read. Above all I admire and respect the good people of Citibank Jakarta that I worked with between 1985 and 1988. Good people all of them, an honour and privilege to have worked with them.

 

I have a strong work ethic, and I’ll take any job, at any level, in preference to sitting on my arse claiming state benefits. Following the loss of my legal claims in 2005 I have worked as a bus driver, a lorry driver, in a shop, and in a school as an IT support technician, as well as a consultant providing project management for IT projects. Some of these roles do not match my skills or experiences, but you need to earn a crust somehow.

 

My lovely wife and I have been married for nearly forty years. We have two fine daughters who I love and admire tremendously. I have brought my children up to respect everybody, and they are as racial tolerant as my wife and I.

 

The criminal fraud of others in my civil legal proceedings, combined with mad biased judges and masters ordering legal costs against me in excess of £2M resulted in my personal bankruptcy in 2006 for £2.6M and the resultant loss to the public purse for funding my defamation claim with Legal Aid.

 

I am disabled as a result of asbestos exposure in the docks when I worked as a welder in the 60’s.

 

 

Chapter xx – My initiation to the UK Courts and Abbey National lies, falsified evidence and perjury

 

The actions of Abbey National, their solicitors, and their barristers;

 

• Abbey National lied when they fabricated a false investigation report and provided this false document in full disclosure in October 2002. This consisted of a computer text document and was completely at odds with the facts of the case, and was coupled with two false witness statements by Abbey National investigators Ms Christine Louise Holland and Ms Deborah Waghorn. This deception was orchestrated by Abbey National’s staff, the Abbey National in house solicitor Mr Alan Squires, the solicitors at Herbert Smith; Mr David Gold, Ms Hayley Evans and Mr Nasir Ahmad, and the Abbey National barrister Mr David Cavender of One Essex Court chambers. This being the criminal offences of Fraud, Deception, Perjury, Contempt of Court, Conspiracy and Perverting the Course of Justice.

 

• Abbey National lied when they amended the false investigation report, after disclosing the original false investigation report. The amended post-disclosure investigation report was submitted to Master Eyre of the High Court in September 2003 to support their applications and was coupled with two amended witness statements by Abbey National investigators Ms Christine Louise Holland and Ms Deborah Waghorn. AT NO TIME DID THE DEFENDANT ADVISE THE COURT OR CLAIMANT THAT THE FULL DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS HAD BEEN AMENDED AND/OR SUBSTITUTED. The original witness statements of the Abbey National investigators Ms Christine Louise Holland and Ms Deborah Waghorn matched the original false investigators report, but conflicted with the amended post-disclosure false investigators report. So Abbey National rewrote the false investigation report to match the new investigators sworn witness statements of Ms Christine Louise Holland and Ms Deborah Waghorn.This deception was orchestrated by Abbey National’s staff, the Abbey National in house solicitor Mr Alan Squires, the solicitors at Herbert Smith; Mr David Gold, Ms Hayley Evans and Mr Nasir Ahmad, and the Abbey National barrister Mr David Cavender of One Essex Court chambers. This being the criminal offences of Fraud, Deception, Perjury, Contempt of Court, Conspiracy, and Perverting the Course of Justice.

 

• Abbey National lied when they once again amended the false investigators report for submission to Justice Pitchers at the Court of Appeal in March 2004. AT NO TIME DID THE DEFENDANT ADVISE THE COURT OR CLAIMANT THAT THE FULL DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS HAD BEEN AMENDED AND/OR SUBSTITUTED. There were now three versions of the disclosed false investigators report, two versions of the Abbey National investigators witness statements by Ms Christine Louise Holland and Ms Deborah Waghorn. This deception was orchestrated by Abbey National’s staff, the Abbey National in house solicitor Mr Alan Squires, the solicitors at Herbert Smith; Mr David Gold, Ms Hayley Evans and Mr Nasir Ahmad, and the Abbey National barrister Mr David Cavender of One Essex Court chambers. This being the criminal offences of Fraud, Deception, Perjury, Contempt of Court, Conspiracy and Perverting the Course of Justice.

 

The UK court system is over 400 years old. It was established at a time when society in the UK was unjust, and the populace were unable to obtain justice. The UK Justice system is split into many areas of law, but this book is only concerned with civil justice as administered by the UK County Courts and the High Court in London.

 

Before 2000 I had little knowledge of the UK court system at all. My only involvement with the courts had been when I was assaulted in the street, resulting in a position, and when I was charged with a minor motoring offence as a teenager.

 

This all changed in 2000 when I uncovered the details of Abbey National’s actions against me. I tried to purchase a PC computer and applied for a small amount of “Instant Credit”. My application was “Instantly” refused, and the manager of the computer shop advised me to obtain a copy of my credit file as a matter of urgency.

 

I’d been a senior banking IT consultant for most of my life, and some six months before I’d been dismissed by Perot Systems while assigned to UBS as the Systems Group Head. Since then I’d had all sorts of problems obtaining new employment, and had been forced to accept an assignment with a friend in Malaysia. My dismissal by Perot Systems, and my sudden inability to secure contracts or employment made little sense to me, and I was endeavouring to get to the truth of the matter. The Experian report that I obtained explained to me what had happened, and what Abbey National had done to me.

 

The Experian report showed that Abbey National had falsely registered my wife and I as grade 4 criminally convicted fraudsters with CIFAS. As a senior IT manager working for the UK banks this was a death sentence to my career, and I knew that I would never be allowed to work for the UK banks ever again. Once accused of being a CIFAS fraudster, I would forever be smeared.

 

Having worked for many of the banks I know that they maintain their own lists of grade 4 CIFAS criminally convicted fraudsters. CIFAS deletes these records after 18 months, so the banks capture this CIFAS information and use it to Identify known fraudsters. It is not difficult to understand that the banks use this information to prevent the employment of known fraudsters as well. But try explaining this concept to a High Court judge or Master, and you will immediately understand and appreciate that some judges and masters of the High Court are fools and idiots.

 

I knew t was hopeless but I tried to get Abbey National to correct the wrong, I complained to Abbey National. I was fobbed off after some months with an "Unreserved Apology" and a derisory offer of £250 compensation. As I estimated the loss to me of Abbey National’s actions to be in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, or even millions of pounds, I decided to take the matter to court.

 

I complained to the Information Commissioners Office concerning the false personal data held by Abbey National, and by Experian. The Information Commissioner considered my assessment request and issued a damning report concerning Abbey National’s flagrant breach of the Data Protection Act.

 

“…It is therefore our final assessment that the processing concerned was not carried out in compliance with the provisions of the Act, in particular that the data was not processed fairly, in breach of the First Data Protection Principle. Nor were the data accurate or adequate for the purposes for which they were being processed, in breach of the Third and Fourth Data Protection Principles. The procedures revealed by the case have given the Commissioner very serious cause for concern and we have asked that Abbey National undertake a full review of their procedures. Having undertaken the review we have asked that they confirm what steps have been taken to ensure that such an event does not recur.”

 

I did not realise at the time what a toothless useless waste-of-time organisation the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) was. Nor did I appreciate what a waste of time the UK’s Data Protection Act laws were. Basically the report from the ICO was it, they would not actually do anything to help me, nor would the ICO punish Abbey National in any respect. If I wanted compensation for the Data Protection Act breaches by Abbey National then it was upto me to sue Abbey National. And this brought me into my High Court civil dispute where none of the judges or masters that I encountered demonstrated any understanding, comprehension or even acceptance of my rights under the Data Protection Act. So much for the Data Protection Act.

 

I read that Michael Douglas sued for a breach of the Data Protection Act. After a day of hearings where the judge accepted that Michael Douglas and his wife’s Data Protection Act Rights had indeed been violated, with both side represented by solicitors and barristers charging thousands of pounds an hour. The judge awarded Michael Douglas £50 compensation. So much for the Data Protection Act.

 

Anyway, since I did not know that the courts would do nothing regarding breaches of the Data Protection Act, I decided to sue Abbey National and set about contacting a suitable solicitor. I needed help and advice on what to do. I had a stupid childlike belief that justice was available to all, and that the courts would uphold justice for me. I looked to the court for protection and compensation. Silly bugger that I was.

 

I encountered resistance by all the solicitors that I contacted. Solicitors were just not interested in civil claims involving banks. Two solicitors wanted large payments up-front just to consider the issue, and I decided that they were crooks. One solicitor told me that I would not win my claim against any bank, regardless of the strength of my claim, since the banks had resources and a bottomless purse available to deal with such claims. I dismissed his advice which I considered foolish, but now know it to be entirely sound. What the solicitor did not state to me was that the establishment looks-after-its-own, and a person is not allowed to pursue a claim against a bank by the courts. The other fact which I did not appreciate was that Abbey National would lie, fabricate evidence against me, mislead the court, commit perjury, commit contempt of court and pervert the course of justice, all aided and abetted by their legal representatives, to defeat my claim. And, that the court would not only allow this deception, the court would conspire with Abbey National to crush me at any costs.

 

And this conspiracy by the defendant and the courts was acted out by High Court Masters, and High Court Judges, with my own solicitors and barristers being participating members of the farce.

 

It is totally surreal in court hearings involving a claim against a bank or corporation. Everybody knows that the claimant is going to lose his claim. This is what happens 99% of the time. The bank defendant, or the establishment corporation defendant, will crush the hapless claimant time and time again, with the full support of the court.

 

There is a group at the High Court called the Personal Support Unit. These people, mostly volunteers and suchlike, offer assistance to litigants in person at hearings. It is a hopeless task, and in the main they too are just going through the motions. The litigant in person claimant has even less chance of succeeding compared to a claimant represented by a solicitor and barrister. So the major task is to console the claimant when he or she loses after many years of struggle. The Personal Support Unit is commendable, but it performs its task in the most bizarre setting. They are, in their own way, part of the problem. But, I would not like anybody to think I am criticizing the PSU in any way. When you are on your own in a courtroom of barristers and solicitors, with a judge who has cosy little chit chats with his pals the defending barristers throughout the hearing, it’s nice to have somebody to talk to who is not against you. And every other bugger in the court is against you, every single last one of them.

 

Anyway, back to Abbey bleeding National.

 

My wife and I chose Abbey National for our mortgage to buy a brand new home in Chafford Hundred, Grays, Essex. The House cost £220,000, and we offered a £20,000 deposit. We also spent some £25,000 on extra’s for the house as it was being built, and we paid for these in cash directly to the builder.

 

Little bit of weird stuff here;

 

My wife and I, together with my niece, our friend and her daughters went to see the eclipse of the sun in Cornwall on Wednesday August the 11^th 1999. We travelled down by overnight train from London to Penzance, and walked about Penzance for the day, before returning by overnight sleeper train to London. The eclipse was not visible because the sky was so overcast, but it went totally dark when the eclipse happened at 11 minutes past 11 o’clock, on the 11^th of August 1999, At the precise moment of the eclipse I became overwhelmed by a total feeling of doom and despair. It was all I could do to not break down. I could not understand it, and I felt that everything had fallen apart in my life. Funny things was, IT HAD!

 

We returned to Essex after the eclipse on the morning of the 12^th August 1999, and after dropping off my niece at my sister’s house, we entered our new home which we had moved into a couple of weeks before. The telephone was ringing, and a woman from Abbey National was on the line. She said she needed to check some personal details about my bank account application. I’d agreed to apply for a bank account some months before when Abbey National offered us the mortgage and invited us to apply for a bank account. Sure I said, ask away. The woman, who eventually identified herself as Miss Smith, asked how long we had been living at our address. I said “A couple of weeks”, “Ah-ha” she said, “Gotya!”, “You stated on your bank application form that you have been living at your address in Grays for three years, I’ve caught you out”.

 

I told this “Miss Smith” exactly what I thought of her allegation that she had “Got me”. I stated quite firmly that I had completed an application form for the bank account, after Abbey National invited me to apply for the bank account, with a statement that I’d been living in Bromley since December 1997 to May 1999. At no time had I ever stated to Abbey National that I’d been living at an address, in Bromley or Grays, for three years. I was more than a bit tired after our overnight trek home from Cornwall to see the eclipse, and this idiot woman was annoying me with this nonsense. Abbey National subsequently denied that anybody called “Miss Smith” had ever called me on that day. But “Miss Smith” was adamant; I had made false statements on an application form. I stated that I did not like her attitude or tone, and said I would be making a complaint, but I agreed to fax her copies of my bank account statements with Halifax which would confirm my address history.

 

The next morning I visited the Abbey National branch in Cannon Street, London on my way to work. I formally complained about the call from Miss Smith, and I offered them copies of my Halifax bank statements. The Abbey National branch manager and supervisor appeared very dubious, and I got the impression that I was considered a suspect or something.

 

I went into work and faxed the bank statements to Miss Smith at Abbey National as requested. And I forgot all about the stupid call from “Miss Smith” at Abbey National.

 

That evening my wife and I went on holiday.

 

We returned from holiday and I went back to work. I attended my usual Monday morning group meeting for a major project that had been running for several months, but the UBS senior manager kept asking me if I’d seen my Perot Manager Simon Browning-Hull. My Perot Manager Simon Browning-Hull, and a subordinate Darren Goom then appeared at the meeting. This was not normal.

 

When I returned to my desk after the meeting I was immediately suspended by my manager Simon Browning-Hull, and ordered out of the building with instructions to attend a disciplinary meeting the next day. No explanation, no reason, and all very high handed.

 

I attended the disciplinary meeting, and was subjected to an interrogation concerning my conduct. Again, there was no explanation, no reason, and the entire process appeared to be a fault gathering exercise to justify whatever decision was going to be made. I did not know what was going on, but it was clear to me that I was being shafted by my idiot manager Simon Browning-Hull and the subordinate Darren Goom who later changed his name to Darren Ashcroft, which was very sensible since his nickname in the IT department was “The Goomster” on account of the fact that he was a fool and had very little understanding of anything technical. Load of nonsense at the disciplinary meeting; You said this, and you did that, with no real substance at all. Simon

Browning-Hull would not accept any of my questions concerning what exactly was it that I’ve done, and my requests to resolve whatever was wrong were dismissed without consideration. It was clear to me that there was a plan to discredit me, and nothing was going to derail the plan.

 

Two days later I returned to work again for a second disciplinary meeting. Surprise surprise, the decision had been made to dismiss me for poor performance. I was a bit upset about this since I had been working 70 hours a week for months, and all my projects had completed on time within budget. I even had some UBS praises for my work on urgent Y2K projects.

 

But there was nothing to be done. I’d only been working for Perot for ten months, and there was nothing I could do about it. I appealed to Perot that the disciplinary procedure did not follow the Perot stated disciplinary procedure. This stated that an employee, or associate as Perot liked to call employee’s, would be offered the opportunity to correct any faults within seven days, the employee would not be subject to dismissal unless they failed to correct the faults within seven days. I was not told what my faults were, and Simon Browning-Hull could not even maintain a stance regarding what my faults were exactly, let alone provide me with a chance to correct my faults.

 

A couple of appeal meetings, and a final appeal meeting where it was agreed that the disciplinary procedure had not been followed correctly. Quote; “Unfortunately there were no vacancies in Perot elsewhere for me and it would be disruptive to re-employ me again as the IBM Platform Manager after I’d been dismissed”. I was offered two additional month’s salary and a payment for missed training because I’d been working so hard, but that was it.

 

I walked away and said sod Perot. I talked to a solicitor who said that my treatment was disgraceful, and the fact that Perot had not followed their own disciplinary procedure was illegal. He wrote a letter to Perot, but Perot denied any wrongdoing, and I told the solicitor to forget it. Good riddance to Perot I said.

 

Then I tried to buy a PC at Tiny-PC using their instant credit facility. Instant credit was instantly refused, and I obtained the Experian credit report that contained the CIFAS grade 4 registrations against my wife and I.

 

I determined that my dismissal at Perot was directly connected to the CIFAS grade 4 registrations. In my previous roles at UK bank’s I’d deputised for the CIFAS contact at several banks, and I knew full well how serious a CIFAS grade 4 registration was. It is applied when somebody has been convicted of fraud by a court after they have defrauded the bank or credit card out of funds.

 

More on CIFAS, Perot, and Simon Browning-Hull in the following chapters.

 

Back to Abbey bleeding National;

 

Again went to the Abbey National branch in Cannon Street. Told them about the CIFAS grade 4 registrations against my wife and myself. I explained that I must have missed the court hearing where I was convicted of fraud? They agreed to investigate, and the manager of the branch contacted me several times by telephone. I was then referred to the Abbey National Secretariat, a pretentious title which sounds very important but in fact it simply refers to a department of dozo's and tosser's whose job is to apologise and then ignore all complaints by angry customers. They go through the motions, but they don’t do anything really. Shit bank run by tossers and dozo’s who don’t give a rat’s arse about their customers.

 

Couple of months of useless questions from Abbey National. More faxing of my Halifax bank statements. I kept asking the obvious question; Why did Abbey National lend me £200,000 to buy a house, and then do this to me when I applied for the bank account that Abbey National invited me to apply for. And what was the nonsense from their Miss Smith on the 12^th August concerning a false address history, based on an application form I was supposed to have submitted?

 

Complained to CIFAS, and complained to the Information Commissioner as well. I was very concerned since I knew that I would never be allowed to ever work for UK banks in a senior position again. Not good.

 

CIFAS is an interesting organisation. It is funded by the banks and credit card companies, and maintains a register of fraudsters as reported to CIFAS by the banks and credit card companies. CIFAS is a sinister company with a very low public profile. It is rumoured to be supported by MI5 and when somebody tries to sue CIFAS their claim is almost immediacy dismissed by the courts. CIFAS gets very interested in ID theft, and people maintaining a false address. So it was something of a shock to me when CIFAS refused to accept service of legal documents because they had moved and CIFAS relied on a false statement to the post office that their previous address from two years before was an office of the company. This is actually a criminal offence under the Telecommunications Act. If I’d been a bank or credit card company I would have immediately reported CIFAS to CIFAS as a fraudster, since this is exactly the sort of thing that CIFAS does. At one time I was advised that any civil claim involving CIFAS results in a “Green Paper” being issued to the courts, no doubt by MI5 or somebody equally sinister. The courts then quash the civil claim on some pretext or other. All very big brother if true.

 

I was having serious problems getting a solicitor to act for me. I showed them the ICO Final Assessment report confirming breaches of the Data Protection Act, and I explained what had happened. None of the solicitors I saw were interested. I did not know what to do, and I wanted a solicitor to help me. I finally talked to some anti-establishment types, people who were against banks, and then a group of mortgage repossession victims on a web site called the Home Repo Group. One of their members pointed me in the direction of McGoldrick’s solicitors in Croydon. Talked to a solicitor there called Goodman, and after a meeting he agreed to act for me with an estimate of £25,000 to sue Abbey National.

 

Any port in a storm, maybe, but what a useless thieving bunch of shits McGoldrick’s solicitors turned out to be.

 

The two best things I got out of McGoldrick’s and Goodman were;

 

• If you are embarking on a civil litigation claim and you are borrowing funds from relatives or friends, then provide them with a secured charge on your house. Then when/if you eventually lose your civil claim and are forced into bankruptcy because of legal costs against you the money you borrowed from your relative or friend is secured against your home. If possible over-borrow from your relative and place your house firmly into negative equity so that if you do go bankrupt your house will not be seized as an asset.

 

• An introduction to barrister Mr John Orme. Very professional and honest man, unusually so for the legal profession in my opinion, but he got shafted by the solicitor McGoldrick’s just like me. Goodman told me that Orme wanted more money, and I paid him amounts. Goodman then told Orme that I’d not paid anything, and Orme got nothing.

 

But the very best thing about McGoldrick’s solicitors was when they increased their final bill for losing the Abbey National and Perot claims to £65,000 and I contested their accounts with the High Court Supreme Court Costs Office. After nine months Costs Master Rogers (A very nice man) had the decency to set the McGoldrick’s bill to zero since the day of his decision on the matter was the day that McGoldrick’s was arrested for defrauding clients, and the Law Society suspended McGoldrick’s solicitors. Thomas McGoldrick was subsequently given a seven year prison sentence at Manchester Crown Court for defrauding a paraplegic client out of £950,000. Bloody good timing by McGoldrick’s, the Serious Fraud Office, and even the Law Society on that particular day.

 

Back to the Abbey National claim….

 

Mr Orme considered matters in detail and issued a claim in the High Court against Abbey National.

 

When a civil claim is issued in the High Court Queens Bench division the claim is allocated to a High Court Master. The role of the Master is to ensure that the claim is ready for a hearing before a Judge. Unfortunately some High Court Masters are better than others, and some High Court Masters take a lot upon themselves.

 

The determination of the claim takes place in the Masters chambers at the High Court, with several hearings, and should normally be a process that takes several months.

 

My claim against Abbey National was allocated to Master Eyre. I basically lost my claim against Abbey National on that day.

 

From the very outset it was clear that Master Eyre was not all there. Master Eyre stated at the very first hearing that “This claim has gone on for far too long”. My barrister, and the defendant’s solicitor and barrister all looked very confused.

 

 

Chapter details to be completed….,

 

 

Chapter 2 - Perot lie's falsified evidence and perjury.

 

First off we have to consider the employment reference that Simon Browning-Hull issued for me to the Zephon investigator;

 

Mr Hull confirmed that Mr Johnson was employed as an IBM Platform Manager at the Perot Systems Perot Systems, which was an integral part of UBS Warburg Dillon Read, being responsible for the running of its infrastructure.

Mr Hull commented that "it was the most horrendous episode that I have ever experienced in my working life". He stated that they had "all sorts of problems" with the candidate.

Mr Hull added that "technically, Mr Johnson was just not up to the job". He further commented that they tried "a number of 'get well plans' to try to help him, but nothing worked".

Mr Hull advised that Mr Johnson had a significant lack of -management skills, and added that there was little in his performance that supported the work that he claimed to have done previously.

The referee stated that they had serious compliance issues, and the Bank had strict rules about staff dealing in shares and equities, and Mr Johnson repeatedly "fell foul" of this rule.

Mr Hull went on to say that the candidate "just didn't seem to understand, and they had to go through a formal warning process, but Mr Johnson still did not get it".

The referee stated that "eventually, we had to terminate his employment".

Mr Hull further commented that "Mr Johnson initiated action through the Employment Tribunal, but stopped, as Human Resources dealt with that, and I think we had a strong case".

The referee went on to say that he heard the candidate "got kicked out of a Bank" after he left the Company. He added "allegedly, it was something to do with obtaining a mortgage from the Bank fraudulently".

Mr Hull stressed that this was a personal interview and that it was given "strictly off the record".

 

And the reference was taken by a chap from Zephon who turned out to be the ex-superintendant of the Metropolitan Police Serious Fraud Squad.

 

Any normal, sane, person would see that the employment reference by Simon Browning-Hull was a vindictive malicious defaming statement issued by a twisted sick demented git. But Justice Eady did not concern himself with the employment reference once during the three years that my claim was considered by him in some twenty hearings. He preferred to discuss at length the inane ramblings of the idiot barristers from his chambers One Brick Court, complete with the every lengthening un-agreed chronology of previous hearings, where the main topic of discussion was the un-agreed chronology. There was no need or requirement to consider the employment reference contents in the court of Justice Eady, such was his bias and abuse of justice.  

 

The actions of Perot, their solicitors, and their barristers;

 

• Simon Browning-Hull breached the Perot System associate rules concerning provision of employment references. The reference was false, was defamatory and was offensive in every respect. The reference is a reflection of the lack or moral fibre and character of Simon Browning-Hull and clearly demonstrates the evil nature of the man.

 

• Simon Browning-Hull breached the Perot Systems disciplinary procedure concerning my dismissal. The dismissal was without any valid foundation at all.

 

• Ross Perot and Ross Perot Jnr did nothing to correct the illegal, immoral and unethical conduct of Simon Browning-Hull. By their inaction Ross Perot and Ross Perot Jnr demonstrated their own lack or moral fibre and character together with their immoral and unethical behaviour.

 

• False statements to solicitors Herbert Smith on the 4^th February 2003 by Perot’s solicitors CMS Cameron McKenna concerning my disclosure documents in the Abbey National High Court claim. This resulted in costs of £30,000 being ordered against me for perceived non-disclosure of duplicate documents, and the retrospective dismissal of my Abbey Nation claim by Master Eyre. In legal terms this is identified as a collateral attack designed to cause me problems and most importantly run me out of money so I could not financially continue to pursue my Perot claim. Interestingly, having caused my Abbey National claim to be dismissed by their false and malicious actions, CMS Cameron McKenna and the barristers from One Brick Court chambers then stated several times to Justice Eady during hearings that my Abbey National claim was fraudulent. But the only fraud in my Abbey National claim was their false statement concerning my Abbey National disclosure documents. (But in the court of Mr Justice Eady any statement given by his pals at One Brick Court is always believed by Eady)

 

• Quote by Simon Browning-Hull when I complained about the false malicious employment reference; “I never issued the employment reference and I have no recollection of it. I strenuously deny making these statements”.

 

• Quote by Simon Browning-Hull in his first statement after proceedings were issued; “Why would I say these things about Johnson since they are just not true”

 

• Perot barrister; “The witness statement by the ex-superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Serious Fraud Squad that Simon Browning-Hull did make these statements causes us a degree of difficulty”. No shit!

 

• Quote by Simon Browning-Hull after the Zephon investigator provided a witness statement concerning the employment reference and identified himself as the ex-superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Serious Fraud Squad; “Now I remember the employment reference, but I only said these things because I was tricked by the Zephon investigator and I thought I was helping the police”.

 

• Perot barrister; (After changing the Perot defence four times) The statements in the employment reference are true. (But in the court of Mr Justice Eady any statement given by his pals at One Brick Court is always believed by Eady)

 

• The Perot sworn witness statement that providing disclosure of 60 pages of emails would cost US$4.7M. (But in the court of Mr Justice Eady any statement given by his pals at One Brick Court is always believed by Eady)

Chapter xx - Deutsche Bank lies, falsified evidence and perjury.

 

The actions of Deutsche Bank, their solicitors, and their barristers;

 

• Deutsche Bank HR manager Sally Goldthorp lied to the employment Tribunal concerning the whereabouts of Rick Clarke. In Rick Clarke’s subsequent sworn witness statement concerning exactly the same statements made by Sally Goldthorp, Rick Clarke said that these statements were not true. Sally Goldthorp committed Perjury, is a liar and committed the criminal offences of Perjury, Contempt of Court and Perverting the Course of Justice.

 

• In June 2009 information was provided by an ex-UBS employee that Deutsche Bank HR manager Sally Goldthorp made false statements to High Court examiner Brown in 2004 when she identified the person she confirmed the Simon Hull employment reference with. Based on this information I believe that Sally Goldthorp actually contacted Simon Hull’s wife Maria Browning-Hull who worked for Deutsche Bank. If this is correct then Sally Goldthorp committed the criminal offences of Perjury, Contempt of Court, and Perverting the Course of Justice in her false statements to examiner Brown.

 

• The hearsay evidence presented to the Employment Tribunal by Sally Goldthorp concerning Rick Clarke’s interview of me in October 2001 was false. Rick Clarke noted on his interview notes that I said Perot refused to change (my dismissal) to redundancy. Sally Goldthorp stated that I did not mention my dismissal by Perot at any time during the interview. This was a lie, Perjury, and false, in all respects.

Chapter xx - Master Eyre and his wonderful impersonation of Dr Strangelove

 

The conduct of Master Eyre during hearings, and in his judgements, was bizarre in all respects. But the strangest behaviour was;

 

• When Master Eyre said that my claim against Abbey National had been going on for far too long. But this was the very first hearing in the claim? (Poor Master Eyre infact confused this 6ft 2inch overweight white claimant with a 4ft diminutive black claimant who had previously been suing Abbey National in another claim)

 

• The retrospective strike out of my Abbey National claim, for non-payment of £30,000 costs when no order for costs, and crucially no UNLESS order, had been issued.

 

• Overheard conversation between my barrister and solicitor, and the Abbey National solicitor and barrister just before an Erye hearing; “And what issues will we be covering today? Dunno, but you can be certain that they have fuck all to do with the claim”

 

• The surreal scene when Master Eyre became over excited and his left arm started shaking violently. Master Eyre’s left hand gripped Master Eyre around the throat in a very good impersonation of Dr Strangelove while Master Eyre retrieved an injection kit from his desk and ordered the UBS solicitor and myself out of his chambers while he self shot up   himself with his “Medication”. This convinced me that Master Eyre was suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, and had little or no ability to comprehend reality. The Judicial Office considered my complaint concerning Master Eyre obvious health issues, and his fitness to hold judicial office. The Judicial Office stated that Master Eyre will monitor his condition in the future. That’s all right then. Wasted my time issuing an application against Master Eyre for judicial misconduct but Mr Justice Nelson explained that there was nothing I could do about it. Mr Justice Nelson said that a judge could not be dismissed even if it was obvious that he was ill, mad, wrong or bad. Nice man Mr Justice Nelson, even if he did issue a Civil Restraining Order against me.

Chapter xx - Master Rose of the Royal Court of Justice

 

I disagree with several of the judgements of Master Rose in my Abbey National claims, particularly when he apparently dismissed my applications because I’d described Master Eyre or Mr Justice Eady in less than respectful terms, but all in all I have to say that Master Rose demonstrated integrity and professionalism throughout all his hearings.

 

I wish that all Judges and Masters acted in the same professional manner as Master Rose.

Chapter xx - Master Lesley of the Royal Court of Justice

 

Master Leslie demonstrated a dogged determination to bend his judgements to support the Defendants at every turn that was in my opinion a combination of bias and arrogance.

 

But even Master Leslie excelled himself when he described my application for a Judgement in Default when Perot had failed to file any defence after 637 days as “Jumping the Gun”. Mr Justice Gray had ordered Perot to file a defence by 4pm on the 13^th of February 2004, or they would be struck out. At 16:30 my solicitors Mishcon DeRaya filed a Judgement in Default with the court, and this was sealed by the court as Perot were in default of the order of Mr Justice Gray.

 

At the subsequent hearing in Master Leslie’s chambers Master Leslie set aside the Judgement in Default, and all but asked the aging senior solicitor from CMS who attended the hearing if this was ok. Doubtless there was some past close association between Master Leslie and the aging solicitor for Master Leslie to seek his approval of his judgement.

Chapter xx - Justice Eady and One Brick Court chambers

 

Simply astonishing track record from this senior Queens Bench Defamation “Judge of the Lists” going back many years.

 

There have been a multitude of strange and highly controversial judgements from Mr Justice Eady, and the strange thing is that these judgements almost always include barristers from the judges chambers One Brick Court.

 

Mr Justice Eady nearly always rules for the party represented by his chambers One Brick Court, even if this means issuing a judgement that is perverse, makes legal history, or is just plain daft.

 

Mr Justice Eady rules for the One Brick Court represented party 98% of the time. A simply staggering success rate by One Brick Court in the court of Justice Eady, simply staggering. Beggars belief in fact.

 

Consider the decision to allow a convicted absconding child molester to conduct his defamation claim from abroad by video link. A claimant who was of course represented by One Brick Court. 

 

The claim involving a British MP accused of accepting money from Iraq. No jury was needed said Justice Eady, before ruling for the MP, represented by One Brick Court. A year later it was reviled that the MP’s wife had accepted the Iraq money, that’s ok then.

 

The list is endless. Time and time again Mr Justice Eady rules for the One Brick Court represented party, and justice can go to hell in a chamber pot.
