I had asked Gingerbread to try and gather as much information about these reporters. It took them five months of research to be able to compose the following fact sheet by their resident legal advisor:

In October/November, I composed these questions and put them forward to my local MSP, to ask what was the policies/practices and procedures for court appointed solicitors. The following document was lodged in parliament:

This was the response:

Back to my own personal case which was another five or six procedural hearings, at one of these hearings the pursuer threatened me in court and no CCTV footage could capture this happening, as the courts ineffective security measures were never addressed, as previous correspondence stated they would be.

(Ironically, at one of these hearings, my acting solicitor’s purse and mobile phone were stolen from her hand-bag within the public gallery where we sat waiting on our procedural case to be heard in an open court.)

After the treatment from the pursuer on one of these hearings, where a local solicitor had to address a procedure hearing, the pursuer threatened me. This resulted in the pursuer getting an interdict issued against him, with no power of arrest attached. Also, I was still dealing with my complaint against the first acting solicitor, and informed by various different departments to lodge a separate complaint about Miss X, the reporter.

My proof case was to be heard in November '06. The court was aware of the investigations, and outside agencies that I had asked to investigate what policies/practices and procedures they did not have in place for children. In October I lodged a complaint with the law society with regards to Reporter X - as per replies shown below.

** Please be assured after I got my reply back from Parliament about the conduct of these reporters The Law society’s attitude changed, as stated by them - "You seem to have done your homework and are on the case."
