Gosh, that is pretty egregious, and so much for attention to detail.
Yes, you've made a very good point there regarding the encomium of the PHSO guid...
Yes, very well spotted, M Boyce. That is certainly a practice that is wide open to abuse (e.g. judges can exercise bias in secrecy and barristers can...
Yes, it is a bit suspicious that that has been overlooked, and that the judgment has been worded in that way. I do wonder if the judge was exercising b...
M Boyce, I have just been catching up on the news, and am very sad to learn of this outcome, which, as alluded to above, is not altogether unsurprising...
This is profoundly concerning.
I totally agree, M Boyce. This flies in the face of the principles of natural justice in many respects; any submissio...
This is very worrying news, and certainly explains a lot.
Yes, this could well be a strategic move on the part of the PHSO, especially if the decisio...
Agreed, M Boyce.
In my experience, I have suffered more than stress, but soul-destroying frustration and annoyance. I really admire your tenacity in...
If there was ever any doubt that the PHSO and ICO scratch each other's backs, then this latest development says it all.
M Boyce, you quote:
"A more...
Hopefully that means it is being given full and proper consideration, but we can only hope.
Keep us posted.
Yes, I vaguely remember a discussion about the reopening of cases and reports on the other thread.
It does sounds like you’ve got many compelling arg...
Yes, it does seem they are up to no good.
You refer to the below Board Minutes:
'Karl Bannister [the senior lawyer at the PHSO] explained that our...
Incidentally, the Government is trying make JRs more difficult to bring, including making them more costly (as if things weren't bad enough). See aroun...
Yes, you make compelling arguments, M Boyce.
I am also at a loss as to why personal information cannot be redacted. Indeed, this happens all the time...
I see the PHSO is refusing to deal with complaints due to any of the following:
• delays with complaint responses.
• delays in service deliver...
Yes, I've been keeping an eye on those developments too, and have been following Jo Maugham on Twitter for a little while.
The whole system is a joke...
Yes, I am inclined to agree, M Boyce. Due to the abject lack of legal provision afforded to the poor or ordinary person, litigants are left with no cho...
Totally agree, M Boyce.
The irony is the government and government agencies have very deep pockets when it comes to defending their decisions in cour...
That delay is very concerning, M Boyce. I note, however, that many public services have ground to a halt due to the pandemic, including the ICO, who ha...
Any significant updates, M Boyce?
Here is some alarming news:

Yes, that has been my experience too, albeit in the Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal.
The situation is also worsening all the time...
Be inclined to agree with you both.
Anyone heard of the 'Faulks inquiry'? This Tory government are now seemingly trying to screw judicial review law...
Really shocking to see this government seek to limit access to justice further, as if things aren't bad enough already.
J Roberts,
Yes, that last paragraph seems reasonable to me. The PHSO and its ilk take full advantage of the fact that requestors/appellants/service...
Any further updates, M Boyce?
I would say the way that case has been handled by the respective Judge(s) hitherto is a serious concern.
Yes, I can certainly empathise with your view of good old British justice, as I am been left extremely disillusioned for a very long time.
