This is the longest entry and compounded the original corruption for which see http://www.criticalreader2006.blogspot.com/ . Local Government Ombudsman.
"Corruption, the most infallible symptom of constitutional liberty". Gibbon.
Manchester Employment Tribunals (MET) with Lancashire County Council (LCC).

The claim 2406569/01 was Carol Woods v LCC and initiated on 28 Aug. 2001.
The corruption within the York Local Government Ombudsman's office (LGO) to cover for corruption within LCC did not end the matter for me, rather it was just the beginning.
That corruption was compounded by MET in my claim for Constructive Dismissal against LCC.
The case, 2406569/01 recorded on my IT1 among other things breaches of employment contract e.g. no supervision as a child protection social worker, no access to Equal Opportunities Policy, criminal acts from my employer and the whistleblowing re Fylde Community School under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 and not least, being expelled from my union, UNISON contrary to the 1992 Act.
LCC was on 'Special Measures' at the time for good reason. They were on Special Measures for years.
I heard nothing for months. The Employment Tribunal Service (ETS) was devised for litigants in persons; there was no perceived need for a solicitor.
By Christmas 2001, on receipt of the LGO letter (see link) I received a letter from LCC; a BEVERLEY CULLEN saying that LCC would not inform me who their witnesses were to be.
IAN FISHER identified himself as Head of Legal Services for LCC.
MET continued to ignore the case.
On 17 Sept 01 I received a letter from DAVID FAIRCLOUGH, Head of Human Resources in LCC Social Services saying that he had written to MET and he would have my case held in abeyance. I had written to MET saying I would not agree to holding my case in abeyance.
However, the indications were that it had been held in abeyance against my wishes.
(I was to discover later that the time was being used to manufacture evidence.)
Meanwhile I applied to the High Court for a Judicial Review of the LGO's 'findings'.
I made an affidavit to swear as per my rights in Lancaster Magistrates Court. The Head of Legal Services there, JOHN ROBINSON denied me access for no reason. A local solicitor assisted me. The case went forward and I was invited by JUDGE HOOPER to apply for an oral hearing.
It was now July 2002 and whilst I had prepared that application I was ordered to MET for a directions hearing. I did not know that I was entitled to proper notice so attended.
The Chairman was ANNA WOOLLEY. LCC was represented by B CULLEN and a VICTOR WELCH.
I was alone.
Ms Woolley found I had a strong case and set 10 days for the substantive hearing in March 2003, 17 - 28 incl. I requested an earlier hearing but was told that there was a shortage of staff which is not an excuse allowed by law. Human Rights Act 1998. That was ignored my MET.
Ms Woolley instructed me to compile a statement of 48 pages, paginate the documents and release all to LCC within 14 days.
I objected to that, as a litigant in person I was mitigating my losses working (only part-time because of ill-health caused by the bullying etc within LCC Social Services) I was dealing with this claim on my own and I was dealing with the Judicial Review on my own.
(I had obtained employment as a lecturer and researcher one month after leaving Social Services).
LCC and Ms Woolley told me that I couldn't have two cases running at once and I had to drop one case.
I believed an MET chairman and agreed to drop the High Court action and concentrate on the tribunal claim.
I complained that LCC would use my documents and statement to build a case their case. They were told, by A Woolley, that sanctions would be imposed for perjury.
She herself would hear the case.
I was also granted 3 weeks to deliver up my files instead of the 2 originally imposed.
I requested release of clients' files to me and LCC were instructed to release the files of SP, SP, BM, KM,LF.
I was denied the file of MB.
I was to view the files when I delivered up my statement and documents.
LCC were given 9 weeks to send me their witness statements and documents.
I wrote to Judge Hooper explaining why I had to drop the Judicial Review. There was no reply.
I delivered my statement and documents to COUNTY HALL, PRESTON end of July 2002 and told B Cullen that management in social services had destroyed my GP notes of 2001. I had only copied the first and the last .
After handing over my statement (reduced to 43 pages which were enough) and documents I was allowed to see the files but not allowed to make notes. I could ask for photocopies of pages.
The files of SP and SP were not the files and were nothing to do with me. As a member of the public which I was then I should never have been allowed to see those files. The breach of confidentiality for the family was appalling. I made that clear.
The files of BM and KM had been altered and were incomplete.
The file of LF had been seriously altered. All was to the detriment of the clients and attempts to discredit my work as a social worker.
I complained to the legal dept., to PAULINE OLIVER then DIRECTOR of SOCIAL SERVICES, the CORPORATE INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGER - FRANK LOUGHLIN, MET, the SOCIAL SERVICES INPECTORATE AND THE LGO.
Nobody commented apart from MET who ordered LCC to deliver up the proper files for the family SP and SP.
I eventually inspected those files and they, too, had been altered to the detriment of the clients. All the children were very young.
I informed all the above again and the INFORMATION COMMISSIONER via a JIM PRESSLY and again remained ignored by all. (ICO link yet to be added.)
LCC were dismayed at my statement and documents, all events outlined as facts with evidence to support the facts such as being denied the Grievance Procedure, denied training, denied applications for other posts, forced to work with known buliies, TONY BRADSHAW, GILLIAN ARMSTRONG and PATRICIA ALLEN in GREENBANK ST, PRESTON, no supervision, being asked to alter files and perjure myself in the High Court, Family Division, Blackburn (LF case). I could prove illegally convened case conferences to try and discredit my work, covert monitoring of me, informing colleagues not to associate with me, offer me harassment, threats, intimidation and forcing me to apply for my own job whilst I was off sick with stress, forcing me to interview in that period and then dismissing me in that same period. I was dismissed on 1 Aug 01 by ARMSTRONG over the telephone and she told me not to go in any more.
I did, I asked my GP to sign me as fit to work and returned to Greenbank St.
They were not pleased to see me.
My desk had been cleared, my files had gone and I was locked out of the ISSIS recording system. They were preventing me from doing my job.
I informed all that Armstrong had no contractual right to dismiss me, had offered me no feedback after her ludicrous 'interview' of 10/8/01, any one of the abuses I suffered at the hands of those stupid, inept people would have won me a tribunal claim.
I was confident in my claim. Under section 7 of the Data Protection Act (DPA)1998 Amended 2000 I made a Subject Access Request (SAR) and received my personnel file papers from LCC. They had 40 days to comply as per the law but I had to wait 84 days.
I informed J PRESSLY of the ICO but the law was not applicable to LCC. LCC had filled my personnel file with manufactured 'reports', 'meetings' etc all of which to discredit me were for use in the tribunal; of that I was sure.
I could show though that they were all manufactured and false in content with the view to pervert the course of justice. There was an email from BRADSHAW to senior managers dated 28 Aug 01 saying that they needed to be prepared for a tribunal.
I would be declaring perjury, the 1911 Act Case Law R v Sharpe/Stringer 1937.
But on 28/8/01 I wasn't even at the beginning of the learning curve and resigned. I had been constructively dismissed as well as being unfairly dismissed some weeks earlier.
My claim in MET was for Constructive Dismissal.
B CULLEN wrote to me in August 02 saying that she would have to revise all their witness statements after seeing mine.
I had been forced to sign a form on each of my visits to the legal dept. Immediately I returned home I wrote to the legal dept saying my signature had been signed uunder duress.
The signature counted for nothing.
LCC did not comply with A Woolley's order to deliver their statements and documents to me and I was forced to complain again about their behaviours.
Their statements came in dribs and drabs.
A Woolley ordered LCC to send copies to MET, she already had mine. LCC had sent it hoping she would say it was inadmissible. It had the opposite effect.
Ms Woolley ordered in P OLIVER and SUE MITCHELL to appear with the rest. S MITCHELL senior child care manager in HQ East Cliff County Offices.
P OLIVER had taken unexplained 'early retirement' on Oct 2002. It was kept quiet.
Nov. 02 and MET forced me to another directions hearing at the request of LCC.
There was no need for this, all documents had been exchanged by then but now LCC had a barrister, TANYA VERONICA GRIFFITHS best known for her yobbish, screeching behaviours in courts.
In Nov. 02 friends of mine expressed an interest in attending the hearing and I am so glad that they did.
Now a DAVID LEAHY was Chairman, he clearly knew GRIFFITHS and LCC and they had obviously met prior to my being called in. They had obviously discussed the claim.
Before I had even sat down LEAHY was literally shouting aggresively, "We have to consider the Local Authority".
LEAHY said that he would not ask LCC for the witnesses overriding Ms Woolley.
He denied me witnesses saying, "I'm not having a queue of people tell me how wonderful you are".
He said, "They've had to get a barrister. Have you any idea how much she earns in a day?"
(She wasn't worth it being lazy, grossly unintelligent and poorly qualified.)
That lasted exactly 20 minutes then he reduced my claim from Constructive Dismissal to Unfair Dismissal and it was all over.
He argued that the dismissals were the same. As a litigant in person he was hoping that I knew as little of the law as LCC and their barrister.
I formally complained to LEAHY and to the Acting Regional Chairman, BRIAN DOYLE remaining ignored until I submitted appeal papers to appeal against the directions of LEAHY. I wrote to Lord Irving of Lariq and told him what had happened.
Another hearing was hurriedly arranged for 17 Jan 03. A Woolley back as chairman making it clear she had a good overview of my complex case and so would hear it. She refused to collude with GRIFFITHS who was in full throttle.
I had taken 2 people again as witnesses, Tina being one who had attended also in Nov. 02.
Ms Woolley said I would have 3 days to read my statement and cross reference facts by referring to my documents. She ordered LCC to allow me to inspect their diaries. LCC were furious.
They refused to comply with the order and did not release their diaries.
On 17th March 03 I had 2 people with me, LCC had a few and the chairman a PETER RUSSELL not Ms Woolley.
Lay members were Barnes and Nicholls. The clerk was Claire Hobley.
Floor 7 was the venue for special reasons which will be seen in a link yet to be added.
Claire told us that LCC had had Ms Woolley removed because she was partial to me.
I was rushed through my statement in less than one day and not allowed to refer to documents.
RUSSELL was bored and disinterested and gazed at the ceiling most of the time.
GRIFFITHS leapt to her feet as soon as she could and her gibbersih spilled out, "You've been to Cuba, you're political".
My going to new Orleans was also made something of. Griffiths kept me on the witness stand for 3 days and did not ask me one single proper question.
Finally a document was thrust at me, JANE WEBB Detective Lancashire Police case BM, KM.
WEBB had destroyed 6 pages of evidence in that case of serious sex abuse of a 12 year old girl with learning difficulties and her 13 year old brother. The 6 pages named the perpetrator, that was inconvenient for Webb, it showed Webb with P ALLEN and a Sharon McArthur, senior practitioner, to be what they were: inept.
That person as named had been named by me. (He roams free to do it all again and again.)
Webb was now teaching me the proverbial lesson.
I declared Webb's letter to be a perjured document under section 5 of the Perjury Act 1911.
There was a stunned silence. I showed how I could prove the perjury.
RUSSELL became interested asking if there were any other perjured documents in the court bundle of LCC.
Yes, every single one.
GRIFFITHS was having hysterics, the court ended for the day and Griffiths and LCC went to meet with P Russell in his chambers.
I thought it was unfair, I did not know it was illegal. Clair Hobley kept me informed.
(Criminal Law Act 1967 Sec 4(1) applied to Russell criminal that he was and is.)
March 20th TONY BRADSHAW as LCC witness, perjurer, proven by now and LCC attending mobhanded, hostile, oppressive, atmosphere and meetings between bench and LCC regular.
PAT ALLEN couldn't read her statement being only semi-literate, perjury proven.
On Saturday and Sunday I prepared a document to read out on 24/3/03 objecting to what was going on and what was being allowed. I recorded that there were no signed witness statements, all had been compiled by Cullen, a farce was in progress.
Russell was furious with that document but I had 2 people with me and he had to let me read it out when I insisted.
Witnesses for LCC that second week; Tony Bradshaw again, Gillian Armstrong, Maria Lewis, Elizabeth Murphy, Pat Damms, Clive Giddings, Victor Welch, David Fairclough, Tony Morrissey, John Button, Stan Ely, Jane Gray, Judy Deering.
Griffiths read out an unsigned statement of Louise Young saying that Louise was on leave. Louise didn't work for LCC then and hadn't when her statement was being cobbled together by Cullen.
None of LCC witnesses had seen their statements prior to them being called.
It was expected that I wouldn't go as far as I did. Griffiths refused to call Sue Mitchell and Bob Gower. P Oliver had resigned to protect her pension.
JUDY DEERING, routine perjurer for LCC as solicitor in child care also worked as a bar night club manager in Bolton in breach of her work contract. I reported her to the Law Society as I did with Cullen and those from the legal dept. with IAN YOUNG and CLAIRE GREALIS. The corruption of the Law Society in protecting those criminals will be linked later.
DEERING 'disappeared' in the same way that P. OLIVER had.
Summing up on 28 March 03, I had a witness, I was told that I had won and to expect a remedy hearing.
I had invoked various human rights violations in my closing points of law
PETER RUSSELL said, "We don't bother with those".
I had also said that I would accept a remedy hearing for a bullying claim I had against FAIRCLOUGH and YOUNG, deranged 'manager's, LCC.
I waited many weeks for the Extended Reasons.
Nothing arrived.
I went to BURY St EDMUNDS, the claim was not registered, there was no record of it. It had not therefore been heard and all at taxpayers' expense. That was the claim 2406569/01
On May 7th 03 Russell's Extended Reasons document arrived.
There was no decision judgement document, one did not exist. That much was confirmed to me by the data controllers then, the DTI.
I apparently had lost and would pay costs.
A cost hearing was arranged for 28 May 03.
I wrote to BRIAN DOYLE and told him he should call in the CPS.
He said it was my responsiblity then threatened me if I did report them.
He said he would consider my complaint when the proces was complete. He did not.
I wrote to Barnes and Nicholls and Doyle wrote to me saying that he had the letters and they would not see them. He openly admitted to intercepting their private mail contrary to the 1985 Act.
I complained to the Royal Mail for which corruption of the years via JOHN BUTLER, Lancaster Sorting Office and the Freemasons of Lancashire link to be added.
TOBY Thomas and a Rosa Thorpe wrote each pretending in turn that they were the Chairman of the Royal Mail. Related entry to be added.
P Russells' document was contradictory and amateurish. It was proven to be false of content, it was undated and unsealed. It was junk mail. He knew that I was entering it into the appeal court and was thus a perjured document. (See link http://www.criticalreader204.blogspot.com/)
Peter Russell had also recorded that LCC had not disposed of my GP notes when they had. And all that has since been proven via other evidences.
He said that my case was of no interest to the public, not the altering of the children's files or the altering of the COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES of LCC ( see link LGO http://www.criticalreader2006.blogspot.com/)
The cost hearing was cancelled when I said I would have them charged with FRAUD. The excuse was that 'counsel cannot attend'. No other date was set.
The EAT claim was initiated.
End of July 03 I received LCC's 'revised closing submissions'. (I know, complete fantasy land they inhabit) and a letter to MET was copied to me anonymously, words to the effect, "Hurry up, give her a cost hearing before she reports us to the police"
I had tried to report them to the police in Lancaster (link and their corruption to be added) and the CPS in Preston via Tracey Ames who was doing her job when IAN RUSHTON pushed her aside to 'see me off'. CPS entry and corruption with named cartel to be added.
New cost hearing date 1/9/03. MET 4 days prior to the appeal making it illegal in any event.
I did not go to MET on 1/9/03, costs awarded against me almost £40,000. I was expected to fund what can best be described as organised crime.
In actual fact the court records I have show that the cost hearing went ahead on 28 May 03 after I had been told it was cancelled. Griffiths and Cullen were there.
And all is documented on the court computersied records in my possession.
The records were obtained via the DTI then controllers for the ETS.
They show 1) LCC and RUSSELL met privately in April 03 for two days where history was rewritten.
2) that the case was never regsitered and has never been heard.
3) no costs had ever been awarded against me either in March (when Russell records that they were as the liar and criminal he is) or in April after their 2 secret days.
The money was for LCC to pay to Russell to 'throw the case'. It's the only way LCC can ever win being lazy, stupid, ignorant of the law and arrogant in thinking they are above the law.
PAYOLA in the ETS and DOYLE and LEAHY and others all taking a slice of the action.
Peter Beaumont is another: see link at http://www.woodsresearch04.blogspot.com/ and
President of the ETS, MEERAN only ever answered one letter and in that letter he lied. Meeran clearly sets the standards for the ETS.
Falconer replaced Lord Irving as Lord Chacellor and Falconer will have his web entry linked.
Chief Executive of the ETS, Roger Heathcote was a decent man and did what he could (see link http://www.criticalreadercw8.blogspot.com/
Now there is a JEANNE SPINKS the usual, weak female, puppet in the hands of the 'men' pulling the strings.
Claire Hobley resigned over this.
ACAS and UNISON will be cross referenced as they fit into the picture.
The next entry is http://www.criticalreadercw.blogspot.com/ as 3rd in series.
And none of the above happened according to the educated idiot, Peter Russell. I have made it all up and my documents did not exist. They were and are, according to his reasoning, scotch mist.
He's past his sell- by date and had no reasoning.
David Leahy told me he was a barrister but the Bar Council had never heard of him.
Bar Council link to be added.
And Falconer says that Guantanamo Bay is an affront to democracy, hypocrite that he is: he knows and does nothing.
