Clerk to
the Disciplinary Committee
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
Horseferry Road
London SW1P 2AF
31st July 2007
Application to be restored to the Veterinary Register
Dear Madam,
Further to our meeting today with my seeking legal
clarification regarding the forthcoming hearing, I am in reply to your
letter of the 30th July 2007.
As I am unable to refer to previous hearings, I apply
for reinstatement on the content of this letter alone in this, my 5th
application, to practice veterinary surgery.
Should the committee require a reply regarding the list of questions [Disciplinary Committee 7th November 2005] they are as follows:
Answer 1.
The assurances given by the solicitor remain.
Answer 2.
By fulfilling the assurances as well as I possibly can.
Answer 3.
Yes, accepting the basic human rights to which a professional man (and everyone) is entitled.
Answer 4.
6 years record compiled by your client, the South Wales Police, is
sufficient proof. I continue to try and uphold my civic responsibilities
within the community, while the United Kingdom remains a signatory to
the Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. If further
proof is required, I reluctantly draw the committee's attention to the
fact that some convictions, previously before the 2002 disciplinary
hearing, have now been found to have been erroneous.
Answer 5.
I fully intend to conduct myself in accordance with the ‘RCVS Guide
to Professional Conduct'. I reserve my basic human right to freedom of
speech.
Answer 6.
As answer 5 (see above).
Answer 7.
It has always been my intention to embark again on appropriate CPD
courses. While in practice I attended (and greatly enjoyed) CPD. This
was generally in excess of the minimum annual CPD encouraged by the
college. I relish the opportunity to participate again. Since my removal
from the register, I have continued to read veterinary literature and
discuss both aspects of veterinary surgery and medicine with former
colleagues. I understand my professional expertise has never been in
question and refer to their Lordships' Judgment of the 19th January 2004.
Answer 8.
Again, I refer to their Lordships' Judgment.
Yours faithfully,
Maurice Kirk BVSc

Violent public demonstrations outside the Royal
College, law courts, House of Commons and maybe Buckingham Palace are
forecast for later this year without notice. Demonstrations at your
local courts are about to commence.
