“I’ve already communicated with you and your client on several occasions stating I am not responsible for the online publication. The matter is now before the court of appeal. The documentation relating to the appellant’s notice has been copied into you by post. You should receive it shortly. Please note that your client Mr Simon Oliver is not making his request in good faith, it has recently come to my attention that media articles have been published about me claiming I am a terrorist and preparing an anthrax attack. This allegation is clearly false and defamatory. Therefore, I have no option but to pursue this matter further. I have said previously as well, regardless of the number of applications that your client makes against me or whatever back door that he uses, I will not be honouring his request under any terms. I hope that I have made myself perfectly clear. If that means that I have had to have my assets seized or be sent to prison then that is perfectly fine. In the meantime, I have put a comment on this blog stating that I would like the material taken down so therefore, I have satisfied the court order from my remit. It Is now up to the blog operators to take it down.”
“For the attention of the blog owner, My name is Shaikh and I would like to request that you take down the posts, blog, and the main article which relates to a complaint about Simon Oliver which was made many years ago. I believe that the complaint has been copied from a social media post which has resulted in Simon Oliver, the Government legal department and the Ministry of Justice gaining an injunction against me to remove this blog by Justice Julian Knowles. Unfortunately, I am not the owner of this blog and it is impossible for me to take it down, so therefore, I am requesting that the blog owner take down this site so that I do not have any problems coming towards me. I am completely innocent in the allegations and Simon Oliver is trying to make me responsible for something I am not responsible for. He has even gone to the lengths of publishing articles about me in the newspapers saying that I am planning an anthrax attack against him and holding his family hostage! These are false allegations and completely untrue and I have not done any of this. Simon Oliver has not provided any evidence against me apart from the fact that his word and his friends say so. All the allegations that Simon Oliver is making against me is based on falsehood and deceit. I believe he is trying to make a scapegoat out of me so that he can clear his name the easy way. Can all the people that have posted allegations against Simon Oliver on this page request it’s retraction because the government legal department have asked me to do this otherwise they will blame it all on me. Simon Oliver is stating that all the allegations have been invented by me and are not genuine allegations from the public. Simon Oliver also says that none of the victims exist. I am writing this post on this article for the following reasons: 1. Justice Julian Knowles said that I should write on this article to clear my name. 2. The government legal department and ministry of Justice have said to me that they will blame this whole blog on me if I do not do everything in my power to take it down which is impossible for me to do so. They are even threatening me with prison and asset seizure. 3. To determine whether genuine victims have written on this site or has it been invented by the genuine blog owners (as per Simon Oliver’s allegation) I solemnly declare that the statement i have made above is the truth and nothing but the truth Mr J Shaikh”

“The Court has power to send you to prison, to fine you or seize your assets if it finds that any of the allegations made against you are true and amount to a contempt of court. You must attend court on27 July 2020 . It is in your own interest to do so. If you fail to attend, without good reason, the Court may proceed in your absence. You should bring with you any witnesses and documents which you think will help you put your side of the case. You have the right to remain silent, but if you wish to rely on evidence in answer to the allegations made against you, you must comply with Paragraph 2 above.

LEGAL AID IS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE FACING COMMITTAL PROCEEDINGS. YOU ARE ADVISED TO SEEK ADVICE FROM A SOLICITOR.”
“1. I deny all the allegations made by the claimant Simon Oliver (SO) in these proceedings. 2. I deny all 27 contempt’s alleged 3. The underlying matter is currently being progressed through the Court of Appeal because of errors identified which will be discussed later. 4. In the initial proceedings by SO, no evidence was supplied by SO in support of his accusation. He still has not provided any evidence to this date and still relies upon an accusation. 5. The matter is currently under appeal as the claimants barrister Ben Silverstone (BS) and Justice Julian Knowles (JK) did not disclose to the court and myself that they knew each other prior to the hearing commencing... … 7. The allegations relied upon in the initial case was false in several areas. SO makes several ‘findings of facts’ but he does not state that the recordings have gone missing off the dart server. Not only the main recordings but the backup too. Therefore, the findings of facts identified are not accurate and are being challenged even until today. 8. SO regularly uses the word ‘belief’ in his statements and never provides evidence of any issues… … 11. The claimant SO has not sued me for libel and is still to make an application for libel. The reason he has not sued for libel is because the case will be heard by a jury and a jury would not give the same conclusion that a compromised judge would. … 15. I have satisfied the injunction as it stands by commenting on the blog asking them to contact the Government Legal Department to sort the issues out. This was at the request of JK at the hearing of29th November 2019 . Whether the blog operators have contacted the Government Leal Department or not is unknown. I do not personally have the power to take the blog down or any of the other material identified in the original injunction. 16. As a result of the committal application being made, I forwarded the correspondences to third parties who have now provided a statement on the blog in support of the contempts identified... Contact details have also been provided by the hosting site operators so the Government Legal Department can now contact them directly. … 21. I therefore, request the court to dismiss this application for committal because SO has provided no evidence of his underlying claim at any hearing. Therefore, he has not satisfied his claim beyond a reasonable doubt. There is also an appeal ongoing in the court of appeal and any committal outcome would be a miscarriage or justice until the appeal is not heard. 22. If the matter does progress to a committal hearing, I would like a trial set for a duration between 5-6 weeks possibly in the 2021. I am preparing to bring 21 witnesses, 8 of which are already confirmed. I will require 4-6 hours of examination of each witnesses. Each of these witnesses will produce their own bundle as part of their case.”
“Dear Penelope and Mr Sheikh Thank you very much for your comment above. We can also confirm that Mr Sheikh is not responsible for this blog either. Our material is gathered from several reliable sources which is evident from the comments here. Mr Sheikh has had no contribution to this site or has been involved in it in any way whatsoever.

“I am submitting this appellants notice to request the court to set aside the order of Justice Nicklin on the26th June 2020 . I have attached a separate witness statement clarifying my position. If the hearing cannot be set aside, I would like to request it be delayed for a further date in the future. I could not attend the hearing on26th June 2020 as I am abroad and will not be back until the end of August. I already clarified this with all parties days before the hearing on the26th June 2020 . The reason i request the trial date be set aside is given in my attached witness statement. The reason i request the trial date be delayed to another date is for the following reasons: 1. Legal firms are closed during the Covid-19 pandemic and I have not secured legal representation which is legal aid funded. 2. I am not in the country so will not be able to make the date in question. 3. I am not satisfied with the courts response on social distancing at trial in the current period. As a medical professional, the social distancing is guidelines and not law. I could not put myself at risk in the current climate. 4. The claimant has previously claimed he’s the president of the Queen’s Bench Division, therefore, any judge hearing this case at the Royal Courts of Justice will be severely compromised. I would like the hearing relocated to allow impartiality. 5. The claimant works as a judge in the Royal Courts of Justice and any judge listening this case even in normal circumstances would be compromised. I would like the hearing relocated to allow impartiality. This will be at the expense of the claimant and the court. I am willing to travel anywhere in the UK. 6. The time limit given to collect witnesses and get statements is inappropriate (1 week). I have requested nearly 21 witnesses will want to give evidence, to date, 8 are confirmed and 4 require video link. More will follow in due course once a lawyer is instructed to represent me. Therefore the trial date of 2 days needs to be reviewed. Consideration needs to be given to at least 3-4 weeks for trial. 7. The clamant has still not put forward any evidence that I am guilty of creating or maintaining anything against him online. The evidential threshold has not been satisfied at the civil standard, let alone the criminal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt. 8. The website the claimant is complaining about has been copied several times by several different people. There would no need to commit me to prison because the matter has gone too far and he would not benefit from removing the original website. 9. The matter is currently being appealed to Europe under Human Rights legislation. For the reasons stated above, I request the court set aside the order of26 June 2020 or fix trial for another date (possibly the New Year) when social distancing rules have eased and witnesses can come and give evidence safely)…”

“HIS HONOUR JUDGE SIMON OLIVER – EXPOSED AS TAKING BRIBES IN COURT”
“… i do not agree with his judgment when the appeal was on errors of law”
“… the appellent does not agree with his judgment when the appeal was on errors of law”
“On June 24th, 2014, our team were sat in the Upper Tribunal located in the Breams Buildings in London for a case involving an unrepresented member of the public against a government department called the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)…”
“On24th June 2014 my team were sat in the Upper Tribunal located in the Breams Buildings in London for a case involving an unrepresented member of the public against a government department called the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).”
“I was also advised by 3 paper buildings barristers 3PB that to win my case that I would need to give the judge Simon Olivar£10,000 . I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. When I went to court, it became quite common knowledge that Simon Oliver was casually asking whether anyone has anything for him but not specifically stating what. I don’t believe anything or anyone who speaks for Simon Oliver because this corrupt bastard has been at it for very long time ruining people’s lives by colluding and taking bribes and I have seen it with my own eyes. I certify that’s what I have said above is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Mr Jacob Calvert”
“When I read in the newspaper that Simon Oliver claimed that he was a victim of an attempted anthrax attack and having his family held hostage, I was shocked to say the least. Surely if this corrupt bastard was a victim of an attempted anthrax attack that he would go to the police! But no because it’s not true and even if it was, he would have to prove it to a jury to the criminal standard which he can’t do. So he decided to go to the high court so he can get one of his friends to make a favourable judgement for him. Doing a simple Google search will show you the Oliver’s barrister and the judge were both from matrix chambers! What a joke and a kangaroo court once again.”
“I’m not interested about the fact that Oliver is going to sue someone for libel. The corrupt bastard should also be sued for several libels for the amount he lies about everyone in his judgements and the ruining people’s lives. Other people have far more serious allegations against him online then the speculation that he can’t sit criminal cases. He’s now been lying about anthrax attacks!”
“We wonder where someone would get anthrax from as well. It tells you that you can’t trust anything Oliver or his stooges say”
“To the blog owners, i got this email and letter from the government legal department. They continue to make wild unsubstantiated allegations against me which are completely false and inaccurate. Simon Oliver is now accusing me of the ‘oliver eight’ site and the survey. He does not provide proof, just his word. Can the blog owners contact the government legal departments Louise lloyd Jones and clarify why this blog is live because Simon Oliver says its my fault and he will have me committed. [the letter dated21 January 2020 from GLD to the Defendant is set out verbatim] I hereby solemnly declare what i have said above is the truth and nothing but the truth. Mr J Shaikh” [the letter dated21 January 2020 from GLD to the Defendant is set out verbatim] Mr J Shaikh”
“Hi Len Worshipful master Simon Oliver falsely accused me of plotting an anthrax attack against them in the media! These allegations are false and completely untrue. Has anyone ever wondered where someone would get anthrax from! Maybe from a military bioweapons unit. Nonetheless, it was not true. All Simon Oliver is doing is trying to find someone to blame all of his problems on and unfortunately he has chosen me! So far, he has used£40,000 of taxpayers money to assist his campaign when all he is doing is colluding with high court judges to make himself look like a bag of sugar. This£40,000 of taxpayers money could have been used to finance cancer drugs for 6 months for 3 patients in stage 4 cancer in the NHS. Well done to the ministry of justice for signing all this off. When his worshipful master Simon Oliver first started targeting me, I thought he may possibly be going through the menopause but then I realised down the line that he’s just a complete dick. All but very sad.”
“The only thing that the police have done about this website and the comments written on it about Simon Oliver is that they have gone out and kicked other people’s doors in and seized computer equipment so that they can get to the bottom of how to remove this website. They have not done anything to actually investigate and prosecute the bastard that it concerns who is judge Simon Oliver… I have never seen one person involved in so much corruption and criminality and still living to do his job until today. Well done to the ministry of justice. Where would we all be without them. Probably happy! The ministry of justice ignore all public complaints against judge Simon Oliver and send you around in circles but when the corrupt bastard wants justice, the ministry of justice and it’s senior director sir Richard Heaton dig in very deep into their pockets and use taxpayers money to protect and cover up Freemason judge Simon Oliver. The reason I have written the above is because I also had personal contact with Simon Oliver in court. He said to me that he likes stocks and he only accepted cash on Wednesdays and Fridays. I did not know what any of this meant until I read this website.”
“Thanks Len, these will come in handy. I am just one of many victims accused by his worshipful master Simon Oliver. P.S. are you able to come and act as a witness in the committal hearing and say all this in person? Same with anyone else? Let me know please. This will be the first public hearing in front of journalists in the high court.”
“I feel so bad for Len, not only did that disgusting so called of a judge strip him of his assets and left him out on the streets to die but for all these years poor Len has to go through all of this to get Justice. It goes to show you that Royal Navy serviceman and national health service employees are not good enough for Simon Oliver because he knows best. It’s Simon Oliver who is going to be working in the hospital as my replacement saving other people’s lives. Hes also going to be defending our country using the Royal Navy network. It’s a good dream but obviously that’s not going to happen. In reality he will be colluding with the Ministry of Justice and Thames valley Police to bring harm to the public by lying and fabricating. Because of Simon Oliver, I was put onto a barred list under false allegations preventing me from working in the NHS to ultimately save people’s lives. This occurred when Simon Oliver received a bribe from the Royal Brompton and harefield NHS trust at the oral hearing in the upper tribunal. I saw him physically with my own eyes doing it. I will certainly not be gagged into silence from any gagging order because everything I say is the truth. I hereby solemnly declare that everything I have said above is the truth and nothing but the truth”
“Thank you guys for all your support. You are all amazing! Simon Oliver destroyed my medical career by falsifying accounts because he took a gift on the morning of the hearing in front of my eyes! He said that i should not work in the NHS because i can harm children and vulnerable adults when i never did no such thing. This ultimately affects the patients and the community who need my good work and training, not for judges and lawyers to make money out of my misfortune. I saved thousands of lives on minimum wage and my government let me down because we have a joke of a justice system. Why do you think the Ministry of Justice is hiding behind the hidden veil? If im guilty, challenge me but no they won’t because they have no balls. I was a cardiology technician who would save anyones life without a hesitation, not just in a hospital but even if i was in the shopping centre, the coffee shop and in the community and i would not be expecting money in return. But the justice system runs of amazing amounts of money, all of it funded by our taxes. Just to clarify, Simon Oliver has never denied any of these allegations on this site, he says he feels ‘harassed’. Im not too interested in his feeling when children are being raped, vulnerable adults having their assets seized and hospital workers falsely labelled as abusers. I WAS INNOCENT IN 2014 WHEN I CAME BEFORE THIS PAEDO SIMON OLIVER AND IN 2020 IM STILL INNOCENT AGAIN. I DONT HAVE TO CATER TO HIS TANTRUMS, EVERYONE KNOWS WHO I AM AND KNOW I SAVE LIVES, NOT DESTROY THEM. All my patients that have supported me, Len and everyone that have spoken for me, i love you all. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart Mr J Shaikh”
“I don’t think David Staples was responsible in my persecution because Simon Oliver took a bribe on the morning of the hearing in the upper tribunal from the disclosure and barring service and the royal brompton and harefield NHS trust to dismiss appeals against me. Judge Simon Oliver openly did it with his hands placed on the microphones to prevent any recording taking place but then again, the recordings went missing in the end anyway. Simon Oliver distributed the defamatory judgement that he gave and sent it to everyone in the NHS so that I could never get back on track ever again. He basically named and shamed me in the NHS as a paedophile when I wasn’t one. In his recent high court litigation against me (paid for by taxpayers money), he said that he never called me a paedophile and he accepts that I am not one but his judgement is based on the fact that I am ‘unsuitable’ to work in the medical profession and the NHS. He does not base it on evidence but bases it on lies which he made up himself. The reason I was banned from working in the medical industry and the NHS was because the government department the disclosure and barring service which runs the CRB system, judges and lawyers as well as case workers wanted to make money out of public funding by falsely accusing me of anything they could. This was exacerbated and also funded by the royal brompton and harefield NHS trust because they wanted to make an example out of me because I challenged them on corruption that they were doing in the hospital where judges in the high court were taking bribes in medical negligence cases and wrongful death claims bought by patients families against the hospital and organised fraud was taking place at harefield hospital by certain staff members using false job descriptions to get more money. Racist items were also being carried around by certain staff members in the form of golliwogs because they were trying to make a political point. When I complained about this, they made an example out of me instead because they wanted to keep their good reputation in the public. The hospital trust that I worked at basically wanted Simon Oliver to say that I am a serial forgerer of documents and someone who lies unrelentlessly to cover themselves up. Simon Oliver took a bribe on the morning of the hearing in front of me and was more then happy to do this because ‘gifts’ speak louder then the truth. When I was banned from working in the NHS, the disclosure and barring service are supposed to use a 5 step procedure in order to ban me. Step 1 is initial case assessment Step 2 is gathering background information and determining relevant conduct in relation to harming a child or vulnerable adult. Step 3 is the structured judgement process and satisfying the harm test and deciding how a child and vulnerable adult has been harmed. Step 4 is sending the information to me and getting me to answer to the allegations Step 5 is making a decision whether I should be banned or not. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/making-barring-referrals-to-the-dbs The disclosure and barring service did not carry out step 1-3 and went straight on to step 4 and proceeded to step 5 to ban me. They did not even consider my response in step 4. THIS IS ILLEGAL AND AGAINST THE LAW AND THIS WAS THE BASIS OF MY APPEAL IN THE UPPER TRIBUNAL. The relevant case law is the ‘royal college of nursing v independent safeguarding authority’ which confirms that my human rights have been breached under article 6 which is a right to a fair trial in front of impartial judge with legal representation. SIMON OLIVER IS FULLY AWARE THAT THE JUDGEMENT HE MADE IS ILLEGAL AGAINST ME BUT CONCEDED TO DOING SO. I MADE AN APPEAL TO THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS WHO CONFIRMED THAT ARTICLE 6 HAS BEEN BREACHED AND THAT I HAVE TO EXHAUST DOMESTIC REMEDIES BUT BECAUSE SIMON OLIVER THREATENED ME WITH THE CIVIL RESTRAINT ORDER, I COULD NOT DO THIS. Despite Simon Oliver’s judgement against me, calling me a paedophile when I’m not one and then falsely distributing it in the media that I’m a terrorist plotting an anthrax attack against him, it’s fair to say that the medical industry needs to unite against this corrupt bastard because everyone in the NHS is at risk because of him. I was very concerned when he claimed I harmed children and vulnerable adults or have the potential to do so when in fact he is a paedophile in real life and has been harming children and vulnerable adults, including Len Lawrence for decades. I think everyone should send a referral to the disclosure and barring service against Simon Oliver and do everything they can to ban him from working with children and vulnerable adults because let’s face it, he actually deserves it. The link to the referral document is here if anyone is interested but don’t expect miracles becase Simon Oliver colludes with that government department too. Members of the public are allowed to make referrals and there is nothing wrong with it. You can even print this site and send it as background information… From my case, I have been illegally barred and the courts are nowhere to be seen or found and neither is the ministry of justice getting involved apart from protecting Freemason Simon Oliver. There is also no legal aid available so therefore, the government can do whatever they want and get away with it at the expense of the public which is not getting any doctors or health professionals to do what they do best AND THAT IS SAVE PEOPLE’S LIVES! WHICH IS MY PASSION AND WHICH I DID EVERY DAY!”
“Summary of my case” and then sets out, in 29 paragraphs, the familiar first-person narrative of the Defendant’s allegations against the Claimant. It ends with a statement, “I am appealing the decision of Simon Oliver’s injunction to the court of appeal and it’s currently progressing in the court of appeal.”
“The Oliver Eight; a group of eight indignant members of the public who have suffered injustice at the hands of one English Judge… While seeking justice for themselves, The Oliver Eight represent a much larger group of victims and all have one thing in common, they have been subjected to Simon Oliver’s grave misconduct and probable judicial corruption…”

“I have sent several emails detailing that I am not available for the hearing on the 26th of June 2020. I have yet to receive a response back from the listing office in regards to this. I would like this oral hearing to be vacated and consideration given to the case be heard on papers. I am unavailable for the hearing and I have not agreed with the government legal department or Matrix chambers that I am available! This is false. I would also like prior knowledge of who the judge is so that I can determine whether their recusal is needed. On a previous hearing, a judge who had extensive personal dealings with Matrix chambers was present without informing me of this personal interest. I cannot be present at the hearing due to personal reasons. I would like this to be urgently passed on to the appropriate persons for it to be actioned.”19 Jun 2020 10.40 Email from the Court to the parties: “[Mr Justice Nicklin] has been passed Mr Sheikh's email of18 June 2020 . The Judge will be presiding over the hearing on26 Jun 2020 .

The Judge’s present view is that the hearing on26 June 2020 should be listed a directions hearing, which can be conducted remotely.

I did respond to Miss Lloyd Jones's draft order proposal. I said I do not agree with it. The delay in responding was because I need more than 31 minutes to respond. Ms Lloyd Jones email was sent at 15:29 with a request that I reply by 16.00. 2. Mr Silverstone has stated that I have not provided an affidavit of any of the witnesses. As this is an application stage and not an actual hearing, the documents will be provided in due course after a directions hearing has concluded. I would require more time to obtain such documents. 3. I would also like to request get a jury case. the reason I make this request is because the claimant is a judge in the high court himself and it would be completing inappropriate that he is allowed to manipulate the proceedings as is so evidentially obvious from what he has done so already. 4. I would also like to request that the application to commit be dismissed because the claimant has not provided any evidence for his case against me, Date Time Details let alone providing evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Please can you let the Judge have any observations or submissions by the close of business today.” 15.34 Email from GLD to the Court and the Defendant: “I act on behalf of the Claimant and write to provide submissions in accordance with your email and in response to the Defendant’s Application. Introduction Date Time Details 1. The Claimant opposes the Defendant’s application for an order by which the hearing of the committal application should be “set aside” or “reschedule[d]”
“The Judge has considered [the Defendant’s] Application Notice and Ms LloydJones’ email of this afternoon. He has directed that [the Defendant’s] Application will be heard on Monday27 July 2020 . If Mr Sheikh cannot attend the hearing in person, a remote platform will be made available to enable him to participate in the proceedings. Mr Sheikh, the Judge notes that you have not filed any affidavit evidence pursuant to Paragraph 2 of the Order of26 June 2020 . You have also not provided an explanation for why you failed to participate in the hearing on26 June 2020 . The Court would ordinarily expect a detailed explanation - supported by evidence - why a hearing should be adjourned. On your application notice, you state that you have not secured legal representation because legal firms are closed during the pandemic. Which firms have you attempted to contact and found that they are closed? When did you attempt to contact them? You state that you are not in the country. Where are you? When did you leave Date Time Details the UK? When are you due to return? Do you have evidence to confirm your answers? To what are you referring when you say that you are not satisfied with the Court’s response to the pandemic? Physical hearings have now resumed in the Royal Courts of Justice observing social distancing and other safeguarding measures. Finally, what are the names of the witnesses upon whose evidence you intend to rely? The Judge has indicated that it would be helpful to have answers to these questions to enable him on Monday to consider your application to adjourn the committal application. In the meantime, please confirm how you would like to participate remotely in the hearing on Monday, by telephone or video platform, and I will make the necessary arrangements.” 18.49 Email from the Defendant to the Court and GLD: “I answer your questions as detailed below 1. I can confirm that I have filed an affidavit and I uploaded it on your website. I have confirmation by email of this. It was uploaded before the 3rd of July 2020. a paper copy was also sent recorded delivery to the royal courts of Justice. 2. I have already clarify the position why I was not available on the 26th of June 2020. There is no debate about it. I have already confirmed that I was abroad and remain abroad. 3. it is somewhat strange that you were asking for detailed evidence as to my circumstances when in fact the claimant in the proceedings who is in fact a judge in the same Court has not provided any evidence to support his application. I still am expecting the claimant to provide evidence with his application. 4. I have contacted several legal firms based in London Manchester and Maidstone. the majority of them have reduced work hours and are not accepting new applications. They also have backlog. Several legal firms have also said that they are not sure whether legal aid is available. 5. I contacted the legal firms after the 26th of June 2020 until the present day. 6. I do not believe I need to clarify which country I am at present. please can you clarify why you require this information? Certainly if I'm abroad, it means I'm abroad and the country that I am present in has no effect on this litigation. 7. When I say I'm not satisfied with the courts reasons about social distancing during covid-19, I have put my position very clear in my appellant's notice. The guidelines that have been provided by the court are just guidelines and not law. It would not be appropriate that I put my personal health on the line just to attend a hearing because the claimant has arranged it behind closed doors with his work colleagues in the high court. Date Time Details 8. I have several witnesses that would like to attend the hearing in person or by video link. These witnesses are Leonard Lawrence, John Abbott, Ella Ophelia, Penelope Sinclair as well as several others. Witness statements have not been taken from them yet because I have not secured legal representation. I would like to attend the hearing in person and this is the reason why I requested an adjournment to a later date. A telephone hearing would be acceptable but I have never actually done a telephone hearing through the court process. Please can you consider that I do not have a smartphone phone or Skype access. If there is any other method, please let me know and I can accommodate this. I will also be sending separate emails confirming that I have already emailed Miss Lloyd Jones the appellant's notice and the affidavit within and before the deadlines but what I received were error notice is that her mailbox was not receiving emails from me. I assumed that she blocked my email address and therefore it was not going through.” 19.02 Email from the Defendant to the Court and GLD: “You will now have received 4 emails from myself which were error messages from Miss Lloyd Jones's email account. I have attempted to resend the messages twice each. In addition, I will be sending an additional email confirming that I have uploaded the signed affidavit on to your website by e-uploading it. I have received confirmation from the court that they have received it and it's been filed. Can you also forward my application to the judge either on Monday or before Monday asking him to strike the claimants application to commit out as he has not provided any evidence to support his claim. I am within my right to make this application and I'm also within my right to request that the hearing be rescheduled to a completely different Court in a different part of the country (if it's still allowed to proceed under the current circumstances) because the claimant is a high court judge himself. It would certainly not be appropriate that my liberties are on the line and a work colleague of the claimant is hearing his case. Mr Julian Knowles has already been dishonest in his judgements and is nowhere to be seen or heard since the date he made the order. The court of appeal has also made its final order refusing my permission to appeal within 5 months of me making my application for it. The usual process is that the matter takes around one year to be considered. With covid-19 in place, this takes even longer because backlog is in place. It would not be appropriate that the claimant in these proceedings is colluding with the high court and the court of appeal in an attempt to bring harm to me. The claimant Simon Oliver has already got a history of criminal activity using the court system as is so highlighted by doing Google searches. Date Time Details Can this matter be passed on to a completely separate judge to have the claimants application struck out because it does not satisfy the evidential threshold and the court that it is being heard at will not be impartial to me.”22 Jul 2020 12.45 Email from the Court to the parties: “Thank you for your emails yesterday. The hearing will take place on Monday, with the Claimant’s attending in person and Mr Shaikh attending via telephone. Mr Shaikh – Please can you let me know your telephone number so the Court can dial you into the hearing on Monday?” 18.02 Email from the Defendant to the Court and GLD: “I would like to inform the court that an application has been made to the European Convention of Human Rights Court in Strasbourg in France 2-weeks ago. I'm appealing the decision of the court of appeal under human rights breaches. I would also like to make an informal application to Justice Nicklin that be recused from this case because the claimant is a High Court judge himself and allegedly the president of the Queen's Bench Division. Any judge that would be hearing this case in the Royal Courts of Justice would be severely compromised in their position. I also have evidence of this claim as the claimant has passed judgement in a case involving an individual called John Abbott when he referred to himself as the President of the Queen's Bench Division. I would like the committal application to be heard in a completely different Court outside of the jurisdiction of England and Wales to allow impartiality to me. Previously Justice Julian Knowles has already failed miserably when he granted a final injunction but refused to disclose his relationship to Mr Silverstone. I now have further evidence that Mr Silverstone and Mr Knowles were heavily involved together in the past even in High Court proceedings, such as the News Group International phone hacking trial where both lawyers were working together… Please can you consider the above application. If in any case, no committal application should be heard until the European Court of Human Rights has come back with a decision as this is also a right and a channel of appeal and is essential that this be heard before any committal application is progressed.”23 Jul 2020 10.06 Email from the Court to the Defendant and GLD: “If you wish to make any applications, you must do it by issuing an Application Notice and serve it on the Claimant. The Court does not deal with applications by email. Please could you provide me with a telephone number so that you can be connected to the hearing on Monday.”
“Further to my email yesterday,23 July 2020 at 10:06, I would just like to ask if you could kindly let me know your contact number in advance of the hearing this Monday,27 July 2020 .” 16.52 Email from the Court to the Defendant and GLD: “The Judge is concerned to note that you have not yet provided a telephone number to enable you to participate in the hearing on Monday. Ordinarily the Court would expect a litigant to attend a hearing in person. You are being granted a concession in being offered the facility to participate on the telephone. You failed to participate in the hearing on26 June 2020 without providing a satisfactory explanation. In accordance with the directions the Judge gave on26 June 2020 , the committal application has been listed to be heard on Monday. As the Order warned, if you fail to participate in the hearing, the Court may proceed in your absence. You have applied for the committal application to be adjourned. The Court has directed that your adjournment application will be heard on Monday. You will need to participate in the hearing to make that application. It is opposed by the Claimant, and you will be given the opportunity to make your submissions in support of your application. So far, you have failed to answer several questions that are likely to have a bearing on whether an adjournment should be granted and you have provided no reason why you cannot attend the hearing on Monday by telephone. The Judge very much hopes that you will participate fully in the hearing on Monday, but if you fail - again - to attend the hearing, you should be aware that you are at risk of the Court refusing your application to adjourn and proceeding to hear the committal application in your absence. That is unlikely to be in your interests and you should think carefully before you refuse to participate in the hearing on Monday. The hearing is listed for 10.30am on Monday. If you provide a telephone number on which you can be contacted to enable your participation in the hearing on Monday, I can make the necessary arrangements to connect you to the hearing.”
