Letter to Ministry of Justice, 14th August 2007

Can you advise what is the proper European Union Court for our case without restricting us to the public sector musical-chairs routine?

Dear Ministry of Justice

Referring to your letter 30 July 07, informing us that you had transferred our letter 19 July 07 to HM-Treasury.

We had indicated to the Minister for Justice in the above mentioned letter (19 July 07), that we wanted to submit our case to the EU Courts; we further asked the Ministry of Justice if it would furnish us with the proper EU address to which we might send our case. We feel your transferring our letter to the poor blighted HM-Treasury for action and indicating it being the proper office to deal with our queries re EU Courts is incorrect? HM-Treasury is all about tax and unravelling millions of tax errors!

The 'forwarding on' of our queries to wrong departments seems to be a bit of a 'musical chair' wheeze within Selbourne House and Whitehall, it all ties up with the public sectors misuse of power when contemptuously dealing with citizens complaining about corrupt acts within the public sector. It's a sort of “hanging out to dry routine”.

We realise that because we are complaining about public sector corruption, we are yet again being saddled with Whitehall inspired public sector musical chairs!

For instance; a Whitehall 'musical chair' farce occurred when our letter (11 Nov 06) sent to Lord Falconer concerning the FOI, was sent by Selbourne House staff to the Inland Revenue, they in turn sent it on to the corrupt Valuation Office Agency. The VOA then injudiciously and with continued belligerence against us, promptly bulldozed our Lord Falconer FOI query into oblivion! This was corrupt public sector intervention by the VOA. Such VOA fraudulence we have endured for over 4 years. Even more chicanery. More musical chairs.

WE ASK. WHY ARE SELBOURNE HOUSE STAFF TAKING PART IN THIS PUBLIC SECTOR COVER UP ROUTINE?

When the Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown was Chancellor we often wrote him concerning our problems with the VOA – all of our letters went unanswered. Because of this we feel the Ministry of Justice transferring our letters to the HM-Treasury seems to be an invalid gesture – even Selbourne House's numerous referrals to HM-Treasury have gone unanswered. Because of this quagmire we feel its necessary to ask the Ministry of Justice yet again if they might indicate the correct European Union Court for our case.
