Kent County Council

24 June 2009

Dear S Davis

Thank you for your email.

The Council is of the opinion that this latest communication, when
considered in conjunction with all the other requests you have
submitted, is a deliberate attempt to disrupt the Council's operations and
is therefore manifestly unreasonable. The Council has no obligation to
respond to requests that are perceived to be either vexatious or repeated
under section 14 (1) & (2) of the Freedom of Information Act
respectively and collectively, your requests fall into this category. The
Council will review this position in three months time but until then, no
further requests from you will be considered. Nevertheless, the Leader's
office can confirm that they have no record of receiving any complaint on
any subject from the person you specify.

If you disagree with this stance, you can appeal direct the Information
Commissioner, who oversees compliance with the Freedom of Information Act
2000. This is because there is no-one sufficiently senior within the
Authority that could conduct an independent internal review of this
decision which was made at the highest level. Details of what you need to
do, should you wish to pursue this course of action, are available from
the Information Commissioner's website .

Dear Sir or Madam,

With such a blatant rejection, it can only be presumed that the
answer is YES.

Please feel free to correct the record is this is NOT the case.

Yours sincerely,

S Davis

Will be interesting to see if Medway Family Court takes any notice of Lord Justice Thorpe and Lord Justice Wall's criticisms, the latter ordered his comments to be circulated to family courts and adoption agencies across the land.
(Could his comments be referring to the Law of the Land)

The Lords appear to recognize that there is a clear difference between the LAW and legal child kidnap; there cannot be Lawful child kidnap.
