    This may be of interest:-

    Civil procedure | The Law Gazette

    Under the CPR new evidence is not an absolute no no. It can be a big hurdle to jump through. If you did obtain evidence of material non disclosure then the possibility of getting that evidence heard does exist (or more likely the original trial reheard).

      Just spoke to someone 'in the know' - they do have grounds to refuse providing information when costs are greater than > 10hours work; i think we all know this. So the option is to narrow the request, (be more specific) in order for it to take less time (and possibly make multiple requests) etc - they also have a duty to advise and assist you when a FOI request is made (uh-huh).

        would be good if the option to pay the cost was there

          which is of course B0llocks as they dont provide an ability to pay past the 10 FREE hours, purely lip service to public rights as ever! Otherwise when they replied stating it exceeded the free limit there would be a link to pay the excess, guess what there isnt. Are they missing a revenue generating trick or is it maybe a justification to cover up stuff...hmmmmmmmm i wonde, draw your own conclusions...in my view they are a bunch of deceitful lying corrupt cnuts...

            Weekend reading

            If you haven't done so recently, it's well worth reading this.

            Why not print it off and read at your leisure.

            See Pages 3-9 and pages 14 & 15

            http://www.publications.parliament.u...ts/133/133.pdf

            This didn't come into play in the Judicial Review but it may well do in the Court of Appeal.

            As I mentioned previously, the Court of Appeal will only be considering BN66 from the very narrow angle of whether this Act of Parliament is compatible with European Law.

              New letter to send to your MP

              I think it's OK to send this one to Labour MPs too.

              See what you think.

                Mine has gone to Steve Pound (Lab) and a colleague has sent his to Bob Neill (Con).

                  Great stuff.

                  I did initially think of sending the letters directly to Gauke but I think it's better if this goes through MPs. I am fully expecting that we'll get knocked back but at least this way Gauke will have to justify to Parliament why he won't open the files up to public scrutiny.
