Dear Dr Panigrahi,
Re: Your Claim for Compensation
We refer to the email dated 5 May 2022.
Whilst your complaint alludes to you seeking to make a claim for compensation against the
Chief Constable, it does not amount to a letter of claim that is compliant with Civil Procedure
Rules.
You may be aware that there is no pre-action protocol for civil claims against the police.
However, in order to comply with the overriding objective in civil proceedings parties to
potential claims are encouraged to comply, so far as is possible, with the general principles
of pre-action conduct.
Claimants are therefore required to provide a clear summary of the facts on which the claim
is based in order that a proper investigation can be conducted. We would therefore be
grateful if you could please set out the nature of your claim restricted to matters directly
relevant to those which you would wish the Chief Constable to respond to by way of a civil
claim. Furthermore, please identify the incident date, any officers involved, and the amount
of compensation you are seeking.
Once in receipt of your particularised and signed letter of claim we are required to
acknowledge this within 21 days and to provide a response as to liability within 3 months
thereafter.
Yours sincerely,
Legal Services
Legal Services Department
