I am currently being subject to harassment as a result of the Brigades action against me following the decision of deputy Chief Fire Officer Simon Smith’s decision to impose an unlawful deduction to my pay. I have complained about the DCFO’s unlawful behaviour and its detriment (potential/actual) to my health by registering a grievance and near miss. The Brigade have taken collateral action against me for the transmission of my complaint against the DCFO’s unlawful behaviour. I attach a copy notice of the collateral disciplinary action against me.

I wish to apply for legal assistance on the basis of the particulars given above. I have no solicitor acting for me in relation to this matter and hereby authorise you to instruct a Solicitor to act on my behalf if legal aid is granted. I confirm that I am and was a member of the F.B.U. on the date of the accident/incident/contracted illness as stated above. I understand that I am obliged to give the full facts to the Union and the unions nominated Solicitors, and that if I fail to do so or give false misleading facts, legal assistance will be withdrawn and I shall be responsible for the costs incurred by the Union and any party to litigation in which the Union has supported me. I understand that a report of my case upon its conclusion may be published by the Union.
