Hi Jonathan,
Having had a taste of "justice" from the Ombudsman in this country involving a complaint about someone who during our case (without our knowledge)was being interviewed and appointed to BECOME another ombudsman!
I wish you well!
We had a written admission that council officers had deliberately lied to and missled comittee but although that cost me over

No - this is a new application provoked by the entirely fresh evidence - the previous application covered none of the same grounds and the domestic route needed fresh applications and rejections before this could be put forward.
The CCRC rejected it because they claim "it's not when but whether" something happened that matters; choosing to ignore the fact that the jury might well have decided TWO changes of dates by one person might well imply more than a mistake and could have planted the seed of reasonable doubt.
And cross examining someone who claimed to be twelve might have warranted a different approach to someone who could have been 16.

Isn't there a problem with their strict "6 month rule"? The last decision made by the domestic court in your case was on 12 July 2005 when Kennedy LJ/Walker J refused your application to JR the CCRC's refusal to refer your case. Have your conjoined this fresh application with your previous ECHR petition (drafted by Peter Hughman) in July 2003? Are the grounds the same?
Sorry for all the probing questions but I'm just trying to help-Half our time here is spent onm ECHR business

As you'll see if you click the link to the acceptance certificate, we formally applied in June this year.
After much to and fro-ing, they finally decided to accept it at the end of last month.
