Hi forum,
a quick question to start off on what has become a massive issue for me,
(with Judicial Review potentially the only way out).
Is the legal department of a local council duty bound to disclose evidence of clear fraud
I have submitted in course of a legal dispute to the Police who were investigating their housing department at the same time, )arresting at least one member of staff for fraud).
are they "public officers" in a wide sense
- and therefore upholdable to a different standard were they to be a private landlord prosecuting a section.20 invoice bill).
I understand that Lawyers need to "represent' their clients to the best of their ability,
but if they are presented with "smoking gun" evidence of fraud,
should they not have forwarded this to the police who were raiding their offices?
thanks,
bert
