Thank you for your continuing support Jen Newell. It was the third criminal investigation, by the late DCI Bob Poole, between 2000 and 2002, that set out the 35 suggested charges, which were: 1. Gross negligence Manslaughter; 2. Forgery; 3. Perverting the course of justice; and 4. Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Robbie's case first exposed the absence of a Legal Duty of Candour in the High Court in Cardiff in 1996, the Court of Appeal in 1997, the House of Lords in 1998 and the European Court of Human Rights in 2000 in which it sated: "Whilst it is arguable that doctors had a duty not to falsify medical records under the common law (Sir Donaldson MR's "duty of candour"), before Powell v Boladz there was no binding decision of the courts as to the existence of such a duty. As the law stands now, however, doctors have no duty to give parents of a child who died as a result of their negligence a truthful account of the circumstances of the death, nor even to refrain from deliberately falsifying records." NB: "before Powell v Boladz there was no binding decision of the courts as to the existence of such a duty". To expose the absence of a Legal Duty of Candour in the UK Courts my wife and I had to forfeit an estimated £300,000 compensation for Robbie's negligent death, our acknowledged psychological injuries and 25 years of my lost earnings. RIP Robbie xx
