10 09 10: Judge orders investigation into MAPPA ’s relevance for Flying Vet’s current court proceedings

sabk — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:59:00 GMT

In his case before Cardiff County Court, Maurice Kirk, the Flying Vet, charges South Wales Police with countless false imprisonments, malicious prosecutions and failure to investigate crimes against him, his family, surgery and law courts, in particular, the court of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Without his knowledge, Mr Kirk was categorised MAPPA level 3 (posing serious risk of harm to the public) between June and December 2009. But Police denies the relevance of this supervision to current proceedings. MAPPA is short for “Multi-Agency Protection Arrangement” between Prison, Probation and Police. The law rules since August 2009, that offenders are kept informed of management meetings.

On trial day 1, September 7th 2010, Ex-Chief Constable of South Wales Police Barbara Wilding and Dr Tegwyn Williams, Director of South Wales Police Forensic Psychiatric Prison, Caswell Clinic, Bridgend, failed to answer to witness subpoenas served on them by the Claimant. However, Dr Ruth Bagshaw, who is psychologist and Clinical Lead at Caswell Clinic, is member of the Strategic Management Board of MAPPA South Wales Area. Hence they would have discussed the ‘senior management oversight’ required for level 3 offenders. Mr Kirk’s lawyers maintain that there has not been an offence, hence he is not an offender.

Judge Seys Llewellyn QC had ordered on 17August 2010 that the Police’s solicitor should make urgent enquiries and provide a statement by 31 August 2010 with MAPPA details. Mr Kirk had not seen any MAPPA related documents until Adrian Paul Oliver of Dolmans Solicitors followed the order to give details about dates, documents and discussion at meetings. According to MAPPA information sharing protocol, such documents are to be passed on to the ‘offender’ since the law changed in August 2009. When detained in prison on 1st July 2010, Mr Kirk was given written confirmation that he is not subject to MAPPA and that “all information indicates that you never have been”.

Mr Kirk has been jailed 20 times and spent 12 weeks in Caswell Clinic, where he was diagnosed with supposedly incurable brain damage and possibly cancer. These medical records are now required by his surgeons for an urgent hip replacement. On trial day 2 the judge adjourned until next Monday.

Dr Tegwyn Williams is expected to appear in court on Monday September 13th when proceedings recommence at 11am. The trial is expected to rely on disclosure of evidence and to last for 10 weeks.

Mr Oliver’s statement does not contain details about other levels of categorisation previously managed. Category 1 applies to sexual and Category 2 to violent offenders. Category 3 refers to offenders who pose a risk of serious harm such as terrorists.

"We have been following your ‘trials and tribulations’ with some sadness here in Florida. So sad that your own country men would treat one of the last true British Explorers with such cruelty and stupidity. Please know that at least all the tail dragger pilots in the world are rooting for sanity to prevail in your case.” Tom Frohne, Florida

10 09 06: Flying Vet on Morphine in Court as Medical Records not Released

sabk — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:25:00 GMT

Despite receiving morphine and other strong pain killers, Maurice J Kirk will act as Claimant and Plaintiff in Cardiff County Court on Tuesday, September 7^th. His hip replacement was scheduled to take place on July 20^th, but surgeons refused to operate without medical records. While a psychiatrist claimed serious brain damage and possibly brain tumour, Kirk’s many attempts to get access to his records or an adjournment of trial have failed.

Known as the Flying Vet, Maurice Kirk has suffered from harassment by South Wales Police since 1977. Harassment included being jailed 20 times and sectioned in a psychiatric hospital, besides enduring police ignored arson, the stealing of cars and motor bikes and numerous break-ins into his surgery in five years.

This list is far from being exhaustive, as he filed nearly 50 judicial review applications and won over 100 cases whilst only losing twelve. Mr Kirk has discovered so much police criminality that he relies on the web as the most transparent publishing medium, even though his website was closed down by judges and emails were blocked, too.

Maurice Kirk wants to let the general public know about the reality of what he calls “HM Partnership”, the collaboration between agencies that even succeeded in getting him struck off the registry of Veterinary Surgeons. “Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangement” (MAPPA) is the technical term to justify the kind of surveillance that he has been suspecting for decades.

It now emerged that Mr Kirk was under MAPPA management Category 3 from 8^th June 2009 until 17^th December 2009. This was released following the Court’s request for information and was identified by Adrian Paul Oliver of Dolmans in Cardiff.

Mr Oliver’s statement does not contain details about other levels of categorisation previously managed. Category 1 applies to sexual and Category 2 to violent offenders. Category 3 refers to offenders who pose a risk of serious harm such as terrorists. However, Mr Kirk’s solicitor claims there is no offence, hence Mr Kirk is no offender. Furthermore, Cardiff Prison denied MAPPA surveillance whilst he was in their custody.

The trial is about countless false imprisonments, malicious prosecutions and failure to properly investigate crimes committed against Mr Kirk and his family in his house, surgery, law courts and, in particular, the court of The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. It is expected to rely on disclosure of evidence and to last for 10 weeks.

"It is utterly disgraceful and unacceptable in any civilised society that a man and his family who have been so badly harmed by public officials are not offered any redress, remedy or resolution, let alone apologies or compensation. White collar crime is much more pervasive than most people know, but governments deny responsibility. We hope that the Coalition Government with its intent to take white collar crime as seriously as any other, will bring justice where injustice has ruled.” Sabine K McNeill, Web Publisher
