Dear General Council of the Bar,

What is the policy related to the reconsideration of a complaint which has been dismissed by the Committee if new evidences have emerged?

Dear General Council of the Bar,

This is the email received from you which I responded:

Dear Mrs Ismail,

Your Freedom of Information Request dated 30 October 2012 has been passed to me for reply.

I addressed the issue of the re-opening or reconsideration of complaints in my letter to you of 18 October 2012. The relevant paragraph read as follows:

Under our rules there is no formal mechanism for you to appeal our decision. In certain circumstances, set out in paragraph 41 of the Complaints Rules 2011 (at Annex J to the Bar Code of Conduct), the BSB can re-open or reconsider your complaint. A copy of the Complaints Rules is available on the BSB’s website.

Here is the link to the Complaints Rules:

Yours sincerely

David Abrahams

MY RESPONSE

Dear Sir,

I have gone through this and understood that only tribunal's decisions only are reconsidered or reopened. Could you confirm me whether same applies for committee's decisions?

Regards

Mrs ismail
