It was announced on Tuesday 14th January 2025, that Helen Pitcher has resigned. I feel this well over due decision, is the way forward for all victims who continue to be the subject of a ‘miscarriage of justice.’
Collectively we have to continue to apply pressure, to ensure some of the people employed at the CCRC Head Office either resign or are removed. This all started when I stood with a number of victims, or their representatives, and drew attention to the current ‘unfit for purpose state’ of the CCRC, outside their Birmingham Head Office on 10th May 2024.
However improvements towards achieving the very purpose of existence of the CCRC, can only happen if other things are sorted at the CCRC. This includes sufficient funding from central Government, to ensure enough, ‘qualified legal personnel’ are taken on, to deal with a massive backlog of cases, which at the very least should be treated with professionalism, courtesy and consideration of all their case facts.
Helen Pitcher can now concentrate, full time on promoting her Montenegro property portfolio, instead of working part time for the CCRC, dishing out part time results for victims.
