I respectfully suggest that we all write to our MPs in similar terms to cut off all the heads of the Hydra.

All we are doing at present is sticking pins into the underbelly.

I attached various cases as examples and one screenshot of the Havering website.

Dear Sir or Madam

As a "very experienced representative" (according to several London Tribunals adjudicators), my heart bleeds when I observe hearings in which I am not allowed to speak and I witness appellants losing cases when they are not fully aware of my (and others') toolkit to win an appeal. This includes failure to consider, misinformation on council's websites, non-compliant documents and the premature issue of charge certificates.

I am also deeply concerned about the level of knowledge of those employed  by many councils, their training and, indeed, the training of new adjudicators and their appointment.

Furthermore, I am concerned about the high threshold to be met when applying for costs: I believe that this should be relaxed and to include situations where councils issue a DO NOT CONTEST.

Finally, there should be a change in law concerning costs and review applications. Following the recent ruling as mentioned in my recent review case re Hubba Karim v Kingston, if an adjudicator is "wrong in law", one must automatically go to  the High Court.* This is grossly unjust since there already exists an Upper Tribunal which could hear cases IF the legislation were changed.

I politely request an urgent meeting to discuss these issues with the possibility of my having an appointment to meet with the Secretary of  State for Transport and/or any other members of the relevant committee.  It cannot be right that I am placed into the allegorical position of David v Goliath when this global abuse of power is rife and people are bluntly being ripped off and taken for a ride.

I am deeply concerned by all this.

Yours sincerely

007
