PERMISSION TO REPOST
NICE WEDNESBURY UNREASONABLE
Legal Appeal
Judicial Review
CFS/ME Guidelines
http://tinyurl.com/2uejnp
The One Click Group launches today the Legal Fighting Fund
to challenge the CFS/ME NICE Guidelines in Britain
by Judicial Review
What It Is: Judicial Review - CFS/ME NICE Guidelines
Who Will Conduct It: Saunders Solicitors LLP
http://www.saunders.co.uk/
What It Will Cost: Approximately £20,000
Funds Due In: 5 November 2007
Court Application File Date: 22 November 2007
Action Summary
1. Read NICE Guidelines - Judicial Review Action
http://tinyurl.com/357o37
2. Read the structure of the legal campaign below and the
Appeal Instructions
http://tinyurl.com/39cgjm
3. Email One Click and Saunders Solicitors LLP with your
financial pledge.
If every person who reads this document will pledge just
£10 (or Euros or Dollars) or more each, we will instantly
have the legal funds that we need to challenge the appalling
CFS/ME NICE Guidelines by Judicial Review. Our legal
fundraising target is eminently reasonable and entirely
possible when addressed by the collective. It is that simple.
An email and a pledge. With One Click you can help make a
difference that will have beneficial impact on the lives
of millions of patients, worldwide.
What is being done to ME/CFS labelled patients by the
psychiatric lobby in Britain will have a domino effect on
you all, worldwide. Lucrative and highly unethical
psychiatric fraudulence (http://tinyurl.com/55e3f) backed
inevitably by the pharmaceutical industry and masquerading
as science has reached global, epidemic proportions.
Introduction
The One Click Health Advocacy Pressure Group calls for
these CFS/ME NICE Guidelines (http://tinyurl.com/ysxa8v)
to be withdrawn.
Because of the unethical political and medical manipulation
performed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical
Excellence (NICE) and its associates during the development
and production of the CFS/ME Guidelines, we have a very
good case to challenge NICE in the courts by Judicial Review.
Despite repeated pronouncementsby many ME/CFS charities in
Britain on these Guidelines as 'unfit for purpose', we have
seen absolutely no evidence of legal activity from the
charities to date. This task therefore appears to fall to
the patients whose only vested interests are the goal of
good health, fair treatment and proper representation.
Background
The One Click Group has been a Registered Stakeholder on
the development of the CFS/ME NICE Guidelines for the last
two years. We have provided reams of biomedical documentation
to NICE. Our work has been extensive for a very long time. We
refer you to the dedicated NICE Section
(http://tinyurl.com/yjq3hu) of this website, together with
the News Archives (http://tinyurl.com/2mqw8w).
Action
On 10 October 2007, One Click submitted the NICE
Guidelines – Judicial Review Action legal briefing
document (http://tinyurl.com/357o37) to our lawyers,
Saunders Solicitors LLP.
Saunders Solicitors LLP are most familiar with the
ME/CFS biomedical by dint of constant association. This
firm has provided pro bono legal advice to One Click for
many years. For this, we all thank them sincerely.
There always comes a time in legal work however, when pro
bono will no longer suffice and colours must be nailed to
the financial mast; barristers must be consulted and
Applications lodged with the court.
"All of these propositions produced by One Click are capable
of taking us to a Wednesbury unreasonable legal position
with NICE," said James Saunders, Senior Partner of Saunders
Solicitors LLP. "This is a serious issue that needs to be
correctly evaluated by lawyers before legal proceedings
can commence."
The cold application of Wednesbury unreasonable principles
to the One Click propositions which can be sifted out MUST
be done by the lawyers in order to move forward.
There is such a massive orchard of processes and decisions
that NICE has taken over these CFS/ME Guidelines that are
Wednesbury unreasonable, it is hard to cherry pick the most
suitable as they all compete. One is that spoilt for choice.
How You Can Help
1. Read the One Click NICE Guidelines - Judicial Review
Action legal briefing (http://tinyurl.com/357o37) and
the Appeal Instructions (http://tinyurl.com/39cgjm)
2. Please make an offer of financial commitment as a
person or group to legally challenge these Guidelines.
We should try to aim to get in a total of £20,000 by
5 November 2007 in order to fund the lawyers to do their
work to get ready to submit court Applications to meet
the deadline of 22 November 2007.
** This call is urgent. Please send commitment words. **
We need the promise of funds to proceed. These legal date
constraints are not of our choosing and have been forced
upon us by NICE and the law that restricts legal response
timelines. Despite their published sentiments, the charities
appear to have failed to act, so perforce we must.
3. If Saunders Solicitors LLP and One Click obtain the
required financial promises from you all needed to prosecute
this case, we will proceed as indicated. If we fail to
reach this approximate financial target, then obviously we
will have to stand down from legal action against NICE. You
will not be called upon to honour your pledge unless we
reach the critical mass of the targeted £20,000 needed to
take NICE to court.
Please write to One Click and Saunders Solicitors LLP to
express your financial support and the amount that you
are prepared to give to take NICE to court.
Here is an example of the template email for you to copy, paste and
despatch, if you so choose, including the appropriate email addresses
that you will need.

"Having watched my young son have his life entirely
wrecked by the inappropriately applied ME/CFS label since
the age of ten and for the last six years, I see no other
option but legal recourse," said One Click Director Jane
Bryant. "We need to put court proceedings in place to
represent the biomedical case for ME/CFS and have this
case worked up to best legal effect by lawyers very familiar
with this concept. After what my son and so many others
have been through, I for one would never forgive myself
for not attempting to explore this legal challenge. I
predicate that there will not be another opportunity like
this so perfectly crafted to call the UK psychiatric lobby
to account in my lifetime."
We are aware that there has been disruption to legal
campaigns caused by a small minority in the past. There
are many, some most surprising, vested interests at play
who will naturally attempt to kill this campaign by whatever
means they can. We should remain vigilant to ensure that
this is kept to a minimum.
One Click Founder, Jane Bryant, will be putting out a
personal statement on the One Click Yahoo Members Group
(http://tinyurl.com/7slom)on this issue anon.
Whether this case is successfully promulgated using
the best force of the law or not is entirely in your hands.
The decision is yours.
We all need to coalesce and help each other and our children.
Legally unchallenged, a version of the CFS/ME NICE Guidelines
that concentrates exclusively on the psychiatric will be
coming down your way extremely soon.
Please help us and our lawyers to help you.
