Aim: We need a statutory inquiry into grooming gangs to bring those who committed the crimes, and those that covered them up, to justice.
Successive British governments have failed many tens of thousands of English children who have been raped and pimped by gangs.
We are raising funds for our claim to High Court of Justice to force the Government to open a national statutory enquiry. The legal application has been drafted and is ready to be filed subject to funding. The case is urgent and time limited.
Robin Tilbrook of Tilbrook Solicitors, is the solicitor in the case. Mr Tilbrook is a leading civil rights lawyer with considerable experience and success in this field, in particular on the subject of child rape. In 2023 Mr Tilbrook successfully brought a civil suit against a convicted child rapist, Asghar Bostan, securing a damages award of £425,000 for the client 'Liz' a survivor of the rapist Bostan. This case was groundbreaking and the first of its kind. Rotherham grooming survivor awarded £425k after suing rapist
Background: The Home Secretary was asked by Oldham Council in her statutory role to exercise her statutory powers to order a public enquiry into the dereliction of duty to protect English girls by police, social workers, council workers, councillors and national politicians.
The Home Secretary improperly delegated answering this request to Jess Phillips and their joint refusal to agree to this, it would be argued, was to protect their current and former Labour Party colleagues, with a view to denying the compiling of evidence which would allow Labour politicians, in particular, to be sued for their misconduct in public office and for their generally appalling dereliction of their duties.
It is asserted that this dereliction of duty was politically motivated, not only from the point of view of political advantage, but also as part of their ideological support for the British official policies of inadequately regulated mass immigration and of State imposed multi-culturalism. These are legally irrelevant considerations which should not have influenced the thinking of Mrs Cooper and Ms Phillips in dealing with this request or any of the many subsequent requests.
In the circumstances it is submitted that the on-going failure to order the setting up of a public enquiry has not been properly decided according to law by the Home Secretary or by the “Safe-Guarding Minister” in the exercise of their statutory powers. Their decisions are therefore legally challengeable in Judicial Review.
The Labour Government’s deflection stratagem of urging local Inquires is no answer to the requirement of a national statutory Inquiry.
It is expected that a statutory inquiry will compel evidence that will implicate public servants, including current and previous government ministers, as enabling child rape by dereliction of duty. There is much to fear for many public servants.
We are aiming to see this legal action to its conclusion and anticipate considerable resistance by the Government which will likely oppose the application.
Please support this urgent and necessary legal action that will help provide justice for many tens of thousands of children who have been raped by gangs, and stop this from ever happening again.
Thank you.
