I had entered into correspondence with Absolute Barrister Law firm as reported here: https://shantanup.wordpress.com/2017/01/11/correspondence-with-absolute-barristers-in-an-attempt-to-recruit-a-barrister/ .
With no satisfactory replies from Absolute Barrister to my requests for legal advice and legal representation I decided to lodge a test case on whether a client in my position could sue the Law Firm for damages at Medway County Court, as follows:
Court Fee payable (5) Shan Panigrahi To Medway County, Enquiries
21 April 2017 at 16:15
Dear Sir/Madam
This is not a small claim and must be issued by Medway County Court not Salford – according to statutory guidelines. I therefore wish to appeal your decision to a higher court.

Good Afternoon
If you wish to issue a small claim you will need to send the papers to Salford . They will issue and refer it to the local home Court for allocation.

The County Court no longer issues small claims.
You will need to send any claim on an N1 to Salford CCMCC PO Box 527 Salford M5 0BY .
You can contact them for a small claim pack and further information on 0300 456 4600
Fees are based on the amount you are specifically claiming for (specified claim pack) or an amount between two figures (unspecified claim pack)
Regards

Dear Sir/Madam
1. I wish to bring a test case to Medway County Court (on a N1 Claim Form) as shown in the attached document: ToAbsoluteBarristers(Damages)21April 2017.docx.
2. This test case only needs to be only for the minimum amount that is needed for the Case to be heard in a County Court and not be considered an abuse of the process of court.
3. Accordingly, please let me know the Court Fee that would need to be paid by me.
Yours sincerely
Dr Shantanu Panigrahi 3 Hoath Lane Wigmore Gillingham Kent ME8 0SL

Dear Sir
1. Since early January 2017 I have had communications with you by email and telephone conversations with regard to court proceedings against Kent Police. You have given me ambiguous responses of your Firm’s position on the matter. After sending me a Firm’s Flyer by email soliciting further case submissions indirectly you have not returned my phone calls promptly and have not replied to my emails asking you whether you are taking any action on my Case lodged in the Supreme Court.
2. This is the final proof that not only have you failed in your statutory obligations to provide me with legal advice and legal representation in the courts by flagrant violation of your role in society in the provision of justice to citizens, you deliberately sought to protect Kent Police from the litigation and/or the prosecution that I initiated in my bid to claim up to £5 million in compensation from Kent Police.
3. Ordinarily I would have reported you to the Legal Ombudsman in a complaint but as you must be aware the Legal Ombudsman is itself the subject of criminal proceedings reported to Kent Police for its negligent-at-best failure to judge the criminality of several lawyers that I brought to its attention.
4. I light of this I am considering that the County Court needs to be tested on whether I can seek damages from Absolute Barrister for £50,000+ for not carrying out my instructions as a client after indicating to me that the matter was within the scope of the Firm’s activities and work programme in terms of pursuing my case against Kent Police.
5. You are accordingly notified that if I do not receive an explanation from you of your conduct I will consider what action to take against Absolute Barrister without further notice to you.
Yours sincerely
Dr Shantanu Panigrahi 3 Hoath Lane Wigmore Gillingham Kent ME8 0SL

There was no final reply from Medway County Court and I decided to appeal its decision to the Court of Appeal at the Civil Appeals Registry. The following correspondence took place:

On Saturday 22 April 2017 I received a reply from the Civil Appeals Registry and the following correspondence took place:
Appealing a decision of Medway County Court in the Court of Appeal (11) Shan Panigrahi To Civil Appeals – Registry 22 April 2017 at 13:59
Dear Mr Hebden
Who do I contact about this matter in order to make an appointment to see an out-of-hours Duty Judge in the High Court today?

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email, without a copy of the order you will not be able to appeal the decision. You will have to obtain a copy from the county court. Until you do so, the Civil Appeals Office are unable to assist any further.

Dear Mr Hebden
1. I merely suggested to you that a District Judge would have taken the decision not to issue proceedings against Absolute Barrister. I have no way of finding out whether the Medway County Court consulted a Circuit Judge as well after I lodged my appeal to take this matter to a higher court. There is no way for me to find out as I refuse to contact Medway County Court again in view of the allegations of corruption that I have reported to you.
2. It should therefore be clear that I am appealing against the decision of the County Court to a higher Court (Court of Appeal) regardless of the level of Judge(s) involved in the decision making process at the lower court and it would therefore be reasonable to assume that the matter has already been processed through the Circuit Judge at this County Court.
3. I therefore need to come to the Royal Courts of Justice in London and speak to a Judge about these matters if you would kindly please bring this Case to the attention of a Judge. In your reply please let me know the name of the Judge who is being kept informed of these proceedings so that I may make an appointment to see that Judge.
Thank you
Yours sincerely
Dr Shantanu Panigrahi

Dear Mr Hebden
1. I believe that the level of Judge would be the District Judge level. There were no Court Orders, only email communications that show sheer vindictiveness as you must have realised by replying so promptly. The officials in Medway County Court do not operate with Court Orders when they wish to dismiss applications out of prejudice.
2. Please let me have your Court Order by email by Monday (24 April) morning 10.00 am so that I can then fill in my N1 Claim Form and send it by post to the High Court with a fee remission form as I am fed up to the back teeth with Medway County Court.
Yours sincerely
