You recently wrote to the North East Lincolnshire Council to make allegations of fraud and perjury against
them, and to make an allegation of perverting the course of justice against District Judge Curtis.
This complaint was passed to Humberside Police to investigate as it contained criminal allegations. In order
to ensure independence it was allocated to a team that you have had no previous contact with. .
I write to inform you that we have completed our investigation into the allegations you make. In relation to
the allegation of fraud that pertains to your council tax bill, we find no evidence of dishonesty on behalf of the
local authority. Further to this, the allegation of perjury you alleged was committed by North East
Lincolnshire Council in relation to the use of your payments to offset the debt is also found to be unproven.
Your assertion that North East Lincolnshire Council have dishonesty appropriately around £56,000 from
residents cannot be supported by the evidence available.
The fraud you allege that pertains to the additional debt caused by North East Lincolnshire Council using
payments you made to pay costs is also not supported by any evidence.
Finally, the allegation of perverting the course of justice allegedly committed by District Judge Curtis we find
is without evidential support.
As an additional matter we find that the complaint that witnesses involved in the trial against you in relation to
the incident on 30th April 2015 gave false evidence is also without basis. You claim that CCTV was hidden
but in fact this was categorically not the case.
I appreciate that you will be disappointed in the findings of our investigation but I can reassure you that this
was done completely independently, by an experienced Senior Investigator who has no prior knowledge of
any of your previous allegations.
I have also written to North East Lincolnshire Council to advise them of the outcome.
Yours sincerely
Christine Wilson
Detective Chief Superintendent
Head of Crime
