After receiving MK’s sister’s message on the 19 January ’15 regarding MK not being taken to the courtroom on so many occasions I wrote on the 20 January to the Prime Minister, Lord Thomas Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Grayling Secretary of State for Justice, Ms. T. May Home Secretary, Prisoner Casework, Offender Management and Public Protection Group,N.O.M.S London, and N.O.M.S Cardiff to inform them of these gross breaches of the law and also to remind all parties concerned of MK’s human rights. No sooner had I done that than I received a further message from MK’s sister on the 21 January stating MK had been denied yet again being taken to the courtroom for another hearing. My further letter dated 22 January to the same persons follows below, as well as the original messages from MK’s sister. Usually the excuses given to the judge by the contracted outfit “GeoAmey”, employed by H.M. government – when MK had not been present at his hearings were, more often than not, that MK had “refused to leave the prison van” [the prison van taking him to his hearing on whichever date for the hearing] to go to the hearing. This excuse could not be further from the truth as MK has stated since that not once did he ever refuse to leave the prison van – indeed, it would be in noone’s interest, least of all MK’s, if he was to miss a hearing. It is understood a figure of 10 hearings have been without MK’s presence. TEN HEARINGS. Maurice is now disabled and in a wheelchair and needs assistance to get to a hearing – something that is being continually denied him.
1] From Mr. Kirk’s sister, 19 January 2015 – the FINAL PARAGRAPH being relavant to MK’s non-appearances at his own hearings:
“The Magistrates court has consistently refused to reveal the Clerk of the Court’s notes regarding 1st Dec 2011 case ending the first harassment process against Maurice J Kirk despite several judges in higher courts asking for it to be done. As recently as 24th March 2014 there is a request from Judge Crowther in Cardiff Crown Court. I am going to ask, of course, that Mr Smyth sees to any orders for disclosure that have previously been made in these cases and if any orders made for disclosure which have gone unfulfilled, are outstanding , they MUST BE FULFILLED.
Case: T20131144
This is to do with the ordinal ‘serving’ of the Restraining Order’ which Maurice knows was never served on him on 1st December 2011. It transpires that earlier in the afternoon he was shown a draft in handwritten form but never the official document. He had been removed from the custody suite before it was served!
It was only during the recent Bristol case that it was revealed that this was the case.
This means that all the subsequent jury trials were invalid and he was HELD ON REMAND ILLEGALLY.
Now still in HMP Swansea he is due at the High Court later this week in South Wales, venue to be confirmed, and he is pushing the Prison Service to produce him. THE LAST TWO COURT CASES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITHOUT HIS PRESENCE DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF THE PRISON SERVICE AND GEOAMY, THE TRANSPORT COMPANY WHO APPEAR TO HAVE MORE POWER THAN THE JUDGES.

20 January 2015
Subject: Mr. Maurice Kirk, at present an inmate in HMP Swansea, no. A7306AT
Dear Mr. Cameron,
Please allow me to write to you, as it is my duty as a British citizen to tell you of more gross irregularities surrounding, yet again, the situation Mr. Maurice Kirk, 69, is having to endure. I wrote to you before, on the 4 January 2015 regarding the appalling situation Mr. Maurice Kirk found himself in – part of that communication is attatched for your convenience, and is concerning much malfeasence performed, sadly, by certain persons in office.
The first matter I have to inform you about is regarding a certain Clerk of the Courts notes not being made available, from a hearing dated 1 December 2011, despite several judges in higher courts asking for this to be done. I am quoting this information coming from Maurice Kirk’s sister, a former magistrate, who writes [from her full message which is below]:
“The Magistrates court has consistently refused to reveal the Clerk of the Court’s notes regarding 1st Dec 2011 case ending the first harassment process against Maurice J Kirk despite several judges in higher courts asking for it to be done. As recently as 24th March 2014 there is a request from Judge Crowther in Cardiff Crown Court.”
Please, as a representative of the justice system can you see to it that these notes, currently witheld from even higher court judges, be revealed by making them available to all concerned? Surely proper justice cannot take place if information is kept hidden which needs to be made available, especially to judges who are supposed to be dispensing justice in our courts.
The 2nd matter is the grave matter of Mr. Kirk not being allowed to be present at his own court cases – that is – he has been denied being taken to his own hearings.
May I first point out that Mr. Kirk is suffering from a serious and painful stomach ailment – and is in urgent need of a colonoscopy or something very similar, and has been needing a medical operation for over 10 months now, but is denied this vital operation because certain of his medical records are being refused to be shown to the potential surgeons, who will not perform this operation without seeing these records first. Mr. Kirk is in need of a wheelchair at present to be able to get around, whilst being resident in HMP Swansea.
On at least 2 occasions recently Mr. Kirk has been refused being taken to the courtroom for his hearings by the prison staff and/or the contracted staff responsible for getting defendants to the courtroom – that firm being GeoAmey PLC.
What is worse is that, apart from Mr. Kirk denied being present at his own hearings due to the inactions of certain prison or contracted personnel – the hearings went ahead and concluded without Mr. Kirk witnessing one second of what had occurred during these hearings. This cannot be right and cannot be called justice in any shape or form.
These matters that I am informing you about are just two in a long list of serious grievances that have occurred to Mr. Kirk in the recent months.
I ask you, being in the position you are in, to please correct these serious irregularities described above, to
a] see that the Clerk of the Court’s notes from the Magistrates court for the hearing of 1st December 2011 are made available, and stopped from being kept hidden, and
b] please see to it that government personnel let Mr. Kirk be present at his own future hearings. Mr. Kirk has hearings coming up in the not so distant future, and he has every right to be at those hearings – whether he is bound in a wheelchair or not.
Mr. Kirk’s sisters message follows below.
Thank you for your time.

The second message from MK’s sister:
3] From M. Kirk’s sister Celia:
“21st January 2015
Re: Maurice KIRK A7306 AT
It was come to my notice that my brother has been denied justice yet again by actions of your gate
staff and GeoAmy.
For the seventh time since being within the Prison Service Maurice Kirk has been
denied transport to his vital court case.
Today he was wheeled onto the GeoAmy van only to be taken off again. This must be on your current CCTV if you wish to verify this story. The van drove off
to Cardiff Crown Court where he had an appeal in front of a High Court Judge.
The long running case of harassment against the South Wales Police indicates that the police have
interfered yet again in denying Maurice Kirk justice in order for him not to be released until the Civil
Court Judge dismisses the civil suit. He has unable to speak to the case in person nor able to
complete the dispositions due to the Prison Service denying him adequate access to his own laptop
and legal papers (now lost in transit from Bristol Prison on 8th January or from Bristol Prison
between 19th November 2014 and 8th January 2015) nor allowing him to speak with a lawyer.
He is grateful that after many months of asking he has had the opportunity to talk with a doctor
regarding his serious abdominal pain from within HMP Swansea but this has not been helped by the
transport staff leaving him sitting in his wheeled chair in the prison yard from 0805 hrs to
approximately 0840 hrs this morning 21st January 2015 without a coat (confiscated by HMP Bristol)
in temperatures close to freezing. This appalling behaviour by your staff aided and abetted by
GeoAmy, who seem to be beholden to the South Wales Police is an affront to justice, the Magna
Carta and to the long suffering taxpayer!
Can you look into this incident this morning as my brother was most anxious to get to court this
morning but all the GeoAmy staff have to tell the judge a complete lie that ‘he refused to come’ for
the South Wales Police to have their malfeasance hidden again?
signed
Celia Jeune”

4] To: the Prime Minister, et al, including:
Mr. C. Grayling, Sec. of State for Justice, House of Commons, Westminster SW1A 0AA
21 Jan. 2015
Dear Mr. Grayling,
You may not have received yet my letter sent to you by 1st class recorded delivery on Tuesday the 20th January, today being a mere day after the letter’s sending, which detailed the appalling actions of the government contracted company “GeoAmey”.
This company is responsible, and contracted by the government, and has contractual obligations to produce prison inmates at relavent court hearings, yet they have consistently failed to produce Maurice Kirk at his hearings on a number of occasions recently, claiming, for example, that Mr. Kirk would not voluntarily leave the prison van to go to the courtroom.
If you were to investigate this allegation properly you would surely find that nothing could be further from the truth – Mr. Kirk will tell you he has always been willing to go to the courtroom but is unable to do so by himself, due to medical ailments – and the sole reason Mr. Kirk has not been present at his own hearings is that the company GeoAmey’s employee’s have consistently and deliberately denied helping and aiding Mr. Kirk to get to the said courtroom, the result being Mr. Kirk has not been present at his own hearings for what is now a concerning amount of times, the judge[s] concluding the hearings without Mr. Kirk being present – surely an equally as grave a matter as Mr. Kirk not receiving help to get to the courtroom – another matter which also needs to be investigated properly, and HONESTLY.
Having informed you of GeoAmey’s lack of responsibility and failure to uphold their contractual obligations on a number of occasions leading up to the writing and sending of my letter on the 20 Jan. to you, I regret to inform you that yet again, on the 21 January, this company GeoAmey failed in their duties yet again – by failing to deliver Mr. Kirk to the court again for an important hearing on that date. Surely this is now a matter of extreme concern now.
What follows is my letter sent to you and many others on the 20 January, followed by a report written by Mr. Kirk’s sister Celia on the 21st [note “2”], written after it was understood Mr. Kirk was denied yet again being present in the courtroom for another of his own hearings. It is truly outrageous how this company “GeoAmey” can brazenly flout all responsibilities and duties they are paid by the British taxpayer to do, yet not one single government representative dares to reprimand this company for breaking its contractual obligations, and breaking those obligations not once, but on several occasions.
How much longer can things carry on like this?
What follows is the passage from the letter sent to you on the 20 Jan concerning Mr. Kirk’s absence at his own hearings and GeoAmey’s involvement, followed by Mr. Kirk’s sister’s report from today, the 21st Jan., detailing exactly the same thing happening yet again:
“The 2nd matter is the grave matter of Mr. Kirk not being allowed to be present at his own court cases – that is – he has been denied being taken to his own hearings.
May I first point out that Mr. Kirk is suffering from a serious and painful stomach ailment – and is in urgent need of a colonoscopy or something very similar, and has been needing a medical operation for over 10 months now, but is denied this vital operation because certain of his medical records are being refused to be shown to the potential surgeons, who will not perform this operation without seeing these records first. Mr. Kirk is in need of a wheelchair at present to be able to get around, whilst being resident in HMP Swansea.

What is worse is that, apart from Mr. Kirk denied being present at his own hearings due to the inactions of certain prison or contracted personnel – the hearings went ahead and concluded without Mr. Kirk witnessing one second of what had occurred during these hearings. This cannot be right and cannot be called justice in any shape or form.
These matters that I am informing you about are just two in a long list of serious grievances that have occurred to Mr. Kirk in the recent months.
I ask you, being in the position you are in, to please correct these serious irregularities described above, to
a] see that the Clerk of the Court’s notes from the Magistrates court for the hearing of 1st December 2011 are made available, and stopped from being kept hidden, and
b] please see to it that government personnel let Mr. Kirk be present at his own future hearings. Mr. Kirk has hearings coming up in the not so distant future, and he has every right to be at those hearings – whether he is bound in a wheelchair or not.”

22 Jan. 2015
Dear Sir / Ms.,
No more than 24 hours had passed since writing to you and many others on the 20th January to inform you and many others about gross irregularities involving the contracted company GeoAmey NOT producing Mr. Maurice Kirk – HMP Swansea no. A7306AT – at his own hearings in numerous courts when Mr. Kirk was denied YET AGAIN, ON THE 21 January, BEING PRESENT AT HIS HEARING AT CARDIFF CROWN COURT.
Not producing Mr. Kirk at his own hearings, and blaming the falsehood that Mr. Kirk refused to “leave the prison van” or whatever, is becoming the norm now, as we are reliably informed by Mr Kirk’s sister, a former magistrate, that on NO LESS THAN SEVEN OCCASIONS MR. KIRK HAS BEEN DENIED ATTENDING HIS HEARINGS RECENTLY – and each time the contracted company “GeoAmey” has played a heavy involvement in events.
Furthermore, Mr.Kirk has NEVER REFUSED to attend his own hearings, as “GeoAmey” falsely claim. Rather, he has been very intent on attending his hearings – rather than the judgements being found against him totally, as is what has usually happened when he has not been present at his own hearings recently – another outrage worthy of an honest investigation by parties not involved in any way with the justice / police / prison system operating in S. Wales, or Bristol area. It, surely, is not hard to have a case found against any defendant if the said defendant is not ALLOWED TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST CHARGES BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN REFUSED BEING TAKEN TO THE COURTROOM! – especially the charges Mr. Kirk is having, or had to face, recently.
On occasions too the prison van, controlled by GeoAmey staff, had visited the prison to pick up Mr. Kirk to take him to a hearing, but left the prison without having Mr. Kirk on board, without giving him adequate time to get on board the van. This is another nefarious and completely unacceptable action performed by this contracted company “GeoAmey”.
Sir, I ask you sincerely to make sure these gross and grave irregularities performed by the company “GeoAmey”, with or without the assistance of prison service employees, or others, do not happen again, and they are correctly reprimanded for their unacceptable behaviour – all paid for by you and I – and Mr. Kirk. It is obvious this company is particularly and clearly lax in the area of its own “contractual obligations”, which is of course completely unacceptable, and it is seriously wrong that not only is Mr. Kirk having his Human Rights cruelly made a mockery of by not being taken to the courtroom on all these occasions by this outfit, but it also is seriously unfair and unacceptable that the British taxpayer has to foot the bill for this unacceptable workmanship “GeoAmey” dishes up time after time, rather than perform the duties they have agreed to perform.
This company has seriously physically manhandled Mr. Kirk on more than one occasion, too, manhandling Mr. Kirk to the extent it could be called “A.B.H.” [Actual Bodily Harm”] – a serious offence under British law.
Please see to it that these contracted employees of the State are not allowed to get away with their outrageous behaviour ever again, nor lie about what has occurred when Mr. Kirk has been due in court.
Please see my message below, with reports from Mr. Kirk’s former magistrate sister, from the 20 Jan. to Mr. C. Grayling, Sec. of State for Justice, telling him of the irregularities performed by GeoAmey relating to Mr. Kirk’s absence from hearings recently, only to have the very same event happen again less than 24 hours later, on the 21 Jan., when again GeoAmey failed again to get Mr. Kirk to his hearing. This letter, with minor changes, was also sent to: Ms. T. May, Home Secretary; Lord Thomas, Lord Chief Justice; N.O.M.S. [Prisoner Casework], London; N.O.M.S. Wales; Mr. D. Cameron, Prime Minister.
Thank you for your time.
