I have received a letter from the LGO recommending that the county council pay £250 compensation in respect of “hurt feelings” for a whole string of items:-

An email was sent around by the council saying there were allegations of sexual abuse not yet proven when there were in fact none as evidenced by the LGO letters and replies from the county council legal services department: lies about police advice: several false recordings on chronologies: one sided recording on a social services report where my concerns and answers were dismissed merely as issues yet my ex wife’s allegations were recorded in full and no efort was made to corroborate these: i was lied to about stage 3 complaints process; stage 2 was not completed as staff relevant to the enquiry were not interviewed and when i read the report my concerns and comments were ignored; disclosure was made of third party comments to the court detrimental to my character which were not requested by the court and the council have refused to disclose the reasons for such disclosure merely saying they had a duty to do so under statute and guidance notes but have failed to provide these; briefings were held by council staff and councillors where they discussed allegations of domestic violence and yet I have never been questioned about this by the police nor by the council. All this and I get a sum of £250 no wonder the councils are a law unto themselves.

I now would like the name of a decent solicitor to take the council to court for the defamatory comments made which I have already proven and then to take them on with regards to other matters but having been off work with stress and depression I cannot afford to pay so it would need to be on a no win no fee basis but the main defamatory comment has been proven already.
