Ha THis is a joke and you know what the commander said was untrue but
you don't want to give me leagl aid to prepare a statement and want me
to response in the aftermath of you making Judgements that clearly would
now need my input. Oh I hope the public hate
you.

Dear Ms Moss
Thank you for your email.
If you wish to set out your response to Commander Jerome's evidence
to the Inquiry in a witness statement, it is not necessary to have it
"taken down" by a solicitor. However, you may wish to seek legal advice
and assistance if you do wish to submit a
statement to the Inquiry.
The Inquiry is not bound by the Civil Procedure Rules - it instead
proceedings in accordance with the Inquiries Act 2005 and Inquiry Rules
2006. Under Rule 9 of the Inquiry Rules, the Inquiry may
make a written request for further evidence, being either a written statement or oral evidence. Any request for a written statement must include a description
of the matters or issues to be covered in the statement.
However, I wanted to be clear that the Inquiry is not formally
requesting a statement from you, hence why we have not formally
requested a statement from you setting out specific 'criteria or
particulars'; you are simply invited to provide a statement
setting out your response to Commander Jerome's evidence if you wish to
do so.
There are certain circumstances in which legal funding may be
provided by the Inquiry in relation to preparing a witness statement.
However, as the Inquiry has not requested a statement from you, I
consider it unlikely that Chair would make an award for
legal expenses funding in these circumstances.
Kind regards
Martin Smith
Solicitor to the Inquiry
