What is the purpose of a disclosure,and are we entitled to see full transcripts of what a potential accuser has stated in their statments?

Once NFA are we entitled then to see the full statments made by an accuser? using data protection/ or simlar.

I have asked through the freedom of information act and data protection act to view the accusers statments in full,but been refused on the grounds that, the accusers name appears on the statments she made,is this right? thanks in advance for any info.

As you already know the name of the accuser then I can't see an argument as to why it should not be disclosed to you.

If you know the name, it need not be disclosed.

Statements? If the case goes ahead then what is disclosed is ruled first by the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 - see

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1996/uk ... 60025_en_1

with codes of practice, so generally yes provided they are relevant to the case.

If the case does not go ahead, then no save to the extent that they count as a record about you. These need not be full statements.

The reason given may not be exactly correct, but take out what should not be disclosed and there may not be much left.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

I meant to write "as you already know the name of the accuser then I can't see an argument as to why their statements should not be disclosed to you".

Thanks for the link
dls,i am finding it difficult to follow if im honest,i dont understand the law well. but appreciate the link and information you have given.


Thanks to RF,as always helpfull.

I am at a loss as to why i am not allowed to see the full statment of complaint she made, all i have seen is a few paragraphs called a disclosure, which basically states what the GENERAL complaint was.even with this i have been able to prove lies.

Im quite certain if i had a look at the entire complaint i would be able to prove a lot more lies, but i dont know of a way to get hold of the full complaint?
