From: John Reddington, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings one and all, It's fantastic news about Steed vs. The Home Office, as the case I have had on hold for the best part of the last year can now progress. Ironically I was not particularly fussed about interest, more the legality of suing in Crown Court, which of course I am now allowed to do despite the Home Office saying otherwise. The crux of my case is the Home Office insisting on original invoices and receipts for goods 5,6,7 even 9 years old. Needless to say I don't have the original receipts, so they won't pay me. Would it be possible to put out an appeal to your members for potential witnesses in my forthcoming case. I am looking for as many people as possible who surrendered holsters, mag pouches, belts etc which were older than say 5 years, who DID NOT have to produce original invoices. All of the items in question were within the scheme booklet, there was nothing unusual, just Safariland stuff. Best regards John Reddington -- If you are suing for interest, and you were happy otherwise with the compensation you received, I fail to see why original invoices are needed. The court should not be bothered by that. You have both agreed what the value of the items are in the compensation amount, all you are looking for is interest on that amount over a specified period of time. I would tell the HO to get stuffed if they don't like it. Judges aren't going to expect you to present receipts for things which you had no idea you needed to keep the receipt for. Steve. -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
