Citizens Advice Bureau, a free service, run by volunteers to help those who cannot afford professional help when they have problems with the Government and Companies who can afford professionals.
The work it does ranges from filling in forms for those who cannot read or find them difficult to understand to taking on big companies who are causing Pollution.
I am an Expert Witness in matters which are prejudicial or injurious to health as defined in our Environmental Protection Law.
This covers things from a lack of heating or mould in a rented house to big steelworks or oil refineries pumping pollution into the air or water supplies.
I can prepare and serve legal notices on behalf of the small guy against the big guy.
Under UK Law, the big guy has to respond by employing someone with the same or better qualifications than I have.
This costs them money, so often they back off.
The amusing thing is this.
I was what you would call a Fed, they paid for all my training and then paid me for training others.
They are some what in a mess when they take me on because they have used me as the Expert.
I have won over 400 Cases, lost two.
I have two brilliant ex employees I have trained.
They are better than me, fortunately we agree on things.
We have a very independant Judiciary here, they are not Political Appointments.
Things do not always go according to plan.
I have had some big put downs.
The most memorable one being
"In this instance, Mr X is less wrong than the other Parties involved"
A win, but a kick in the teeth.
