Dear Hunt, Paul,
Please pass this request to the Internal Reviewing Officer in
Charge, and to the Office of the Minister of Justice the Right
Honourable Jack Straw MP, for immediate and urgent action. This
request is now long overdue and demands answers for a few simple
queries.
Yours sincerely,
James Moore
From: James Moore
5 March 2010
Dear Hunt, Paul,
Would the logical conclusion from your inability or unwillingness
to answer the questions set forth lead to the logical conclusions
that a: the MoJ have no answer for the definitions because there
*is* no answer, which means that the phrases have zero meaning in
Law, and b: that there is NO LAW that allows the LAs to action
those phrases in its own court, even by their OWN RULES. In short,
the LAs are breaking the LAW OF THE LAND and the Family Courts are
operated ILLEGALLY?
Yours sincerely,
James Moore

Dear Over, Darren (ARU),
To reiterate the original request, in plain English:
-
I would like the following defined:
"Risk of emotional harm"
"Risk of significant emotional harm"
"Risk of emotional abuse"
"Risk of significant emotional abuse"
Also I would like the reference/s to case law and statutes in UK
law and common law that these phrases fall under as actionable by
Local Authorities, what statutes in Civil Law and Common Law gives
then the authority to act on these phrases, and the criteria at
which these phrases would be actionable in a lawful court system.
-
I would like to know, basically, what the above phrases mean in a
Legal sense and how they are applied in a Statutory setting to
arrive at a Lawful conclusion? Until this question is answered, I
would question, on behalf of 16,000 families per year to whom these
phrases are bandied about like confetti, the validity of these
criteria for removal of children to feed and perpetuate the forced
adoption industry in the UK which makes the Legal profession alone,
some 15 billion Pounds per year straight out of the public purse,
hence put it to the Ministry that such proceedings are fraudulent
hence unlawful.
Yours sincerely,
James Moore

Dear Mr Moore
Could you please confirm that your request is asking for any documents
held by the Ministry of Justice that explains the concept of
emotional/significant harm that allows an order to be made to take a
child into care?
I have to advise that the Freedom of Information Act does not give
requesters a right to an opinion on this issue, or legal advice.
Once you have confirmed that your request is being interpreted correctly
it can be investigated what may be held that answers your request.

Dear Pencil, Carl,
I am not asking for conceptual or legal advice, I am asking for
information that on the face of it should be recorded, to whit:
legal definitions as written for use in a lawful setting. If there
is no such *written* definition of the terms given hence no lawful
grounds on which to base them, I would like simply that you advise
me of this fact.

Dear Mr James Moore,
SUBJECT: Freedom of Information Request
Thank you for your correspondence of May 21, 2010, in which you clarified that you are requesting any recorded information
that defines the terms relating to `emotional harm' and `emotional abuse', under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)
from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) .
The investigation to determine whether the MoJ holds any of the information requested is still ongoing, but is in the
advanced stage of completion. The investigation so far has not revealed any information held by the
MoJ. Therefore, your request may need to be sent instead to the Department for Education because they may have information
of relevance to your request, such as in example the below mentioned guidance. The Department of Education can be contacted
at the below address:
Department for Education
Castle View House
East Lane
Runcorn
Cheshire

You may be interested to know that the Department for Education recently published statutory guidance called `Working
Together to Safeguard Children'.That guidance provides the definition of the terms which you have enquired about, and it
is available at the below link.
[1]http://publications.dcsf.gov.uk/default....
You will receive a response by June 18, 2010 confirming whether any of the information that you have requested is held by
the MoJ.

Dear Mr Moore
Please find attached a response to your Freedom of Information request.
For your advice and assistance I have suggested what other public
authority may have information of interest to you. I have also provided
information on where the definitions of the terms relating to 'emotional
harm' and 'emotional abuse', can be found in the recent guidance
published by the Department for Education called 'Working Together to
Safeguard Children'. I hope you find this information useful.
