28 September 2022

Today an open letter dated 24 September 2022 from (Dr) Peter Southwood to Lord Justice Holroyde of the English Court of Appeal, inviting him to consider his position, is published here against the background of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.

The documents referred to therein include:

* Southwood’s letter of 11 November 2018 in response to this judge’s decisions in The Queen on application of Southwood (Appellant) v The Rt Hon. Lord Goldsmith QC (Respondent) of 1 November 2018 available here [then scroll down to documentation of 18 January 2019].

* A summary of Southwood’s legal case, first published on 31 October 2019, against the two Attorneys General who held office during 2018 (Interested Party) and Lord Goldsmith (Defendant) that they had chosen to commit offences under the Perjury Act 1911 rather than admit error in Southwood’s civil case that year. The summary is available here [then scroll down to documentation of 31 October 2019 - ‘Overview’].

Note: The delay in publishing the letter of 24 September 2022 was to ensure that the judge and others named as recipients first had time to receive it in the post and consider its contents.
