GOOGLE: Leonard Lawrence Pilot 30 August 2012 His Honour Judge Simon Oliver, Reading County Court, is entirely satisfied by the non disclosure of the 1990 NHS & COMMUNITY CARE ASSESSMENT REPORT by the Official Solicitor to the Senior Courts and Ratcliffe Duce & Gammer Solicitors Reading. His Honour Judge Simon Oliver, is also entirely satisfied that Leonard Lawrence interests were fully and fairly protected by the Official Solicitor and Ratcliffe Duce & Gammer Solicitors Reading by the non disclosure of the 1990 NHS & COMMUNITY CARE ASSESSMENT REPORT. Others do not support His Honour Judge Oliver, Reading County Court , view Law Society investigating Solicitor report dated 30 September 2009. Disclosed 2011 The Official Solicitor was acting as Mr Lawrence's representative and Guardian and as such had the greater duty to protect him. I consider that the majority of the steps that Mr Lawrence feel should have been taken to protect him should have been taken by the Official Solicitor rather than the firm including the decision and action necessary to invoke the Court of Protection. 24 August 2011 Law Society, Legal Services, disclose correspondence sent by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority to the Court of Protection on 20 July 2010 Mr. Lawrence had come within the jurisdiction of the Court of Protection The Law Society, Solicitors Regulatory Authority, FINAL REPORT CRO/97504-2008. "Issues raised by Mr Lawrence are significant and should be investigated and responded to on the basis that they indicate areas in which the legal system appears to have failed to sufficiently protect an extremely vulnerable adult". Dr Vanessa Davies, Director, Bar Standards Board We do not have any powers to make Mr Brazil, Mr Allen answer your queries. The current Official Solicitor (Mr Pitblado) wrote to the BSB on 24 June 2009. In his letter he explained that the point had not been reached at which the Court of Protection should have been notified of the existence of the CP3. As the BSB was entitled to do, we took views of the Official Solicitor Mr Pitblado. The fact that you were a patient was plain from supporting documents. 24 August 2011 Solicitors Regulatory Authority to the Court of Protection; Mr. Lawrence had come within the jurisdiction of the Court of Protection Hospital Medical Director Report reference: Leonard Lawrence He was then medicated to the extent that he lost mental capacity. During the period the Official Solicitor of the Supreme Court acted as his Guardian ad Litem, three Court of Protection medical certificates (CP3s) had been obtained but not registered with the Court of Protection. He was, therefore, for nearly 18 months regarded as a mentally ill patient without access to the Court of Protection. During this time considerable amounts of his assets went missing. Emeritus Professor of Medicinal Chemistry Malcolm Hooper Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry 11 (209-215) In the Lawrence case there appears to be sound grounds for legal action and significant compensation claims for mistreatment and false diagnoses and an appalling failure of the duty of care. Graham C. Holt Collegium Basilea (Institute of Advance Study), Basel, Switzerland Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry 11 (216-220) At this point the tenor of the presentation changed dramatically from calm, logic science to the harrowing story of one pilot, Len Lawrence.... His story was one of costly legal battles to prove that his brain injury was due to chemical exposure and that he was not mentally unfit. What emerged was a story of incompetence by the medical profession, who lacked knowledge of the symptoms following exposure to neurotoxins and the unfairness of the legal profession in not allowing him to see data concerning his own personal records in their reluctance to tackle those culpable.

Date: Sat, 5 May 2012 Subject: Re: FW: Neurotoxins Dear Len, Thank you for the update - I hope you are OK? - it must be rather shocking and frightening to learn your cognitive function is getting worse. I hope the hospital consultants can help you. I would be happy to talk to them if you think that would be helpful. I would be very interested to know how you get on in the future so please keep in touch if you can? Best wishes, Sarah Consultant Haematologist Dear Mr Lawrence I am sorry that we will not be able to accept you as a donor. This is because of your history of organophosphate poisoning that has left you with ongoing nervous system problems. Consultant Haematologist Doctor. (Commander Royal Navy) Dear Len, Thank you for keeping me updated and of new matters arising concerning OPs. I have as promised been circulating to various media agencies what you permitted me to do. My wish is that sooner rather than later someone is GOING TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY or are we again going to suffer another PTSD sage. A diagnosis put up in the DSM II in 1968 then ignored entirely until the Americans decided to name another illness with all the criteria of Reactive depression into PTSD in 1980 called the DSM IV. One wonders if a deliberate and orchestrated campaign is again being waged against such people. Since the Hillsborough Disaster when to Police officers witnessing that incident unfolding knew things were wrong. A cover up by Police, Lawyers and all and sundry. An absolute disgrace by all named that has caused so much heart ache, distress to so many bereaved families. This has now been confirmed by families NOT GIVING IN to deceptions. My one wish again is that by individuals like yourself and Lee and others, NEVER GIVE IN, but stand resolute and strong in bringing down these corrupt and deceitful persons who were responsible for all your hurt and pain too. Rest assured I am alongside you in exposing this unlawful and criminal activity. I do thank you Len, as you are on the button with all this as I am trying to catch up as they say! Take care my friend, and look forward to meeting and having another chat soon. Professor of Psychiatry Dear Leonard, Good to hear from you. I hope you're feeling well. Thanks also for the report.

That these public servants continue to function ‘beyond authority’ for so long and cover each others’ backs just goes to show how brave people like Leonard are. Fighting against all the odds, the truth will out.
Stick with it Len, more good folk are becoming aware.

Len didn’t ask for these problems; they were foisted on him by unscrupulous people who knew that they were doing wrong. How many more people are affected thus? How many does Len Lawrence represent? Remember that OPs are damaging the whole population – children and foetuses included. These are our families that are being damaged. Keep up the good work, Len.

Dear Len, On reading your well documented and carefully prepared account submitted for ALL the public to see, I am amazed that any person, yet alone individuals purporting to be medically trained and within the Law up to Bar Council, even worse that Judge(s) could EVER HAVE MADE such a decision of YOU lacking MENTAL CAPACITY. That may be so where an individual has been coshed over the head with a blunt instrument. It appears in your case that instrument was a cosh consisting of medication. We do not know what contents were given or present within such medication. These preparatory acts may have been instigated to remove you from the medias attention of course, and a quick and sure way of silencing you or having contact with the outside world. Again i return to the fact this is another factor not standing up to you suffering a lack of mental capacity merely by your recall and attention to detail all that time you were hospitalised. Today reading once more through the chronological sequence of events and the behaviour and conduct of many named who should have represented you whilst THEY ALLEGE YOU WERE INCAPACITATED is damning yet alone criminally accountable for many offences. It is only a matter of time where a brave Lawyer and medical representative will stand up and be counted and fight your cause. You and I also know Len to do so will invoke the wroth and fury from such professional organisations to discredit such individuals as has occurred in the past. However, many are NOW listening Len, and to the many former Pilots who have now lost their licences to fly from signs and symptoms of organophosphate poisoning. Sadly leaving many NOT WITH AN ILLNESS but a BRAIN INJURY. The question then has to be asked why are so many Military personnel having been exposed to such even from the Gulf War when we knew such was surfacing and termed “Gulf War Syndrome”, and now even worse Afghanistan where many are presenting with tremors, nausea, headaches and skin sensitivity and soreness? Are not these the same signs ans symptoms which have led to many taking their own lives? This disgrace and cover up by both Governments and certain Petro Chemical companies colluding together may just be the tip of the iceburg. I know also you have evidence Len to substantiate this. So May I personally on behalf of so many who presently are in no fit state to fight their cause, Thank you for your stand and remember as you know NOW TOO WELL, there are many standing alongside you and of course Lee to expose this most unlawful and disgraceful and deliberate deception by so many to an even greater number of innocent victims. Good luck Sunday at Trafalgar Square.

Anyone who has a single doubt about the above version of events, should consider for a moment why the above named, senior legal professionals have not taken action to protect the integrity of their professional name and competency? (not a single one of them) After all personal brand is paramount in the service industry and for many of those named, this site appears on page one of a google search for their name. It’s not like they wouldn’t have the finances, time and professional ability to take action. So maybe they fear something else, like only proving Mr Lawrence’s case for him?
There but for the grace of chance go all of us, when catastrophic failings of both the legal system and the diagnostic health system occur.
May Justice find you soon Leonard.

If only the above were the whole story…
Len lost his Pilot medical and could not continue flying – this was due to organo phosphate poisoning due to a known problem with toxic additives use in aviation oils – Cases in Australia were settled long ago re this but not in the UK.
Following Len’s marriage break up he was admitted to the Godden Clinic and was incorrectly diagnosed/medicated. Medication and incorrect treatment continued in the NHS for years to follow.
3 incapacitation certificates were issued but the legal advisers failed as was their legal duty to register them with the court of protection.
His house was sold unlawfully without the CofP’s consent – a matter which all legal advisers were aware should not be done and a derisory settlement made to Len with considerable adverse financial inferences made against him by a district judge – John Fortgang in Slough who should not of made any order as he was not appointed by the Cof P. Another Judge – Jones disqualified herself from any dealings in the matter but then continued to make judgements against her own order disqualifying herself.
Solicitors Radcliffe Duce and Gammer in Reading were reprimanded by the Law Society and maximum compensation awarded to Len – but even this was derisory amount.
Len was subsequently referred to Professor Turnbull a consultant to the CAA who made a correct diagnosis, and Len got on the road to recovery – a very long one.
Every legal party to this event has tried to suppress Len, and quite frankly one should consider they should all be held liable for Len’s substantial losses and compensation.
The gravity of this matter is such that it needs attention in the highest court in the land. I would suggest that a most senior high court judge be appointed to review this case in conjunction with the attorney general
Good luck Len

I don’t understand how so many people could have been hurt by the OS, had their assests stolen away from them and yet they are allowed to continue this fraud and abuse against some of the most vulnerable people in our society. No one is above the Law. You’ve got them Len!

Len, never give up, you are now out there fighting and they will now know that you will get the truth told. You as a pilot are a truthful man and are not only speaking for you but all people who fly around the world.

I am beginning to think that the UK legal system having grossly failed Len he should refer the matter to the European Court of Human Rights.

I have been another victim of the criminal organisation known as the office of the official solicitor. The head of this organised crime network, Alistair Pitblado & staff, Joseph Goswell, Zena Soormally and Adelaide Samson-Tandoh ALL conspired with my corrupt probate solicitor Elizabeth Fry of WARDS solicitors Bristol to knowingly commit a gross act of fraud which involved obtaining a false medical report from a corrupt retired Bristol GP Christine Hoyte, a medical report completed behind my back with no medical, five months after the GP had last seen me for a sore throat and with no history whatsoever of mental incapacity. The report which all authorities refused to let me have sight of stated I lacked the mental capacity to communicate decisions or understand anything anyone was telling me & as such the probate case following the death of my late Grandmother whose death was as a provable result of deliberate NHS malice by the colleagues of corrupt GP Christine Hoyte, was handled behind my back & without my input by Elizabeth Fry of WARDS solicitors who acted directly for Alistair Pitblado.
In conjunction with a corrupt, non court of protection apoointed judge, DJ Michael Daniel of Bristol County Court, these criminals arranged behind my back, the sale of my home of 43 years, bought in 1936 by my late Grandmother & fully paid for before I was born.
On 18th May 2011. without any notice or warning, I was violently evicted from my home by 8 bailiffs who came through interior walls with sledgehammers.
I had / have multiple disabilities which were known to the corrupt parties, including, an arthritic crumbling spine, asthma, angina, PTSD & Agoraphobia. I was thrown onto the street with nothing more than the clothes on my back, supporting the bailiffs were at least a dozen Avon & Somerset police officers who I informed were aiding and abetting a serious criminal offence but most of them were smirking.
My home with a value of £160k, was auctioned by solicitors for £126k, the opponent, Gran’s estranged daughter who had produced a provably fraudulent will received £44k, her solicitors Veale Wasborough received £38k, Elizabeth Fry of Wards solicitors in the name of the Official solicitor paid themselves £37k,( I had been paying legal aid for the 2 years of this legality to Wards solicitors ) only recently after living in severe poverty for over 12 months have I received just under £7k as settlement in this matter.
A few months prior to my unannounced violent criminal eviction I obtained a crime report number from A&S police against corrupt District Judge Michael Daniel, not only did A&S police not investigate the report they assisted in the violent eviction as this cctv footage will show.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQWpPa20QiE
This was arranged by Elizabeth Fry & Alistair Pitblado, acting in my best interests as an alleged ‘protected party’
The only thing protected by this corrupt system is the bank balances of these criminals, abusing persons by wrongfully having them classed as lacking capacity without medicals for the sole purpose of stealing & personally financially gaining from the theft of a persons entire estate.
Jonathan Djanogly of the MOJ ignores any and all communications sent to him regarding these known practices of organised crime committed by & protected by his establishment.
