The suffolk Hyde Affair - Doc 151 Carl Francis Suffolk FBU

Re Doc 150 Enclosed Evidence for Presiding Officer

By way of earlier correspondence ACFO Kenneth Seager (21st April 1999 – Doc 130) had indicated that he did not wish to enter into further correspondence or assist defence team.

‘So far as I am concerned, this is my final reply to the issues you raise. I will not enter into any further correspondence in the matter prior to hearing. Any further concerns you may have will, I am afraid, have to be put before the presiding officer at the hearing in order for him to determine what weight to attach to them’. Kenneth Seager 1999

In consequence, it was necessary for the defence to direct enquiries and material evidence to the Presiding Officer as nominated by ACFO Kenneth Seager.

Attached to Doc 150 was a copy of the memo Sub Officer Wigglesworth 19th April 1999 (Doc 122), a copy of the Legal opinion passed to DO Colin Hodge 12th February 1999 (Doc 44) and a copy of contemporaneous notes written by Sub Officer Wigglesworth during the course of the grievance hearing 12th February 1999 (Doc 43)
