You can't sue force - now pay its costs
 

 Previous 1 2 

 

Mr Evans, who says he has wide-spread support from across Britain, told the court: "It wasn't an easy decision to take out a summons but I owed it to myself, my family and the community because failure to take this action would have resulted in me failing all concerned."

One of his complaints was that police failed to respond after a group of youths poured cider over his 27-year-old daughter 100 yards from a police station.

Matthew Holdcroft, representing the force, said there was no contract with the chief constable to be enforced. While Mr Evans was worried about him-self and property "unfortunately the law doesn't allow recovery damages for mere fear".

After the hearing, which lasted less than an hour, a disappointed Mr Evans said: "I've had support from all over the country from people concerned about policing. People have been proud someone is prepared to take on such an establishment.

"I still believe I was right to take this action. I will continue to monitor North Wales police to ensure that the best policing will be available to meet the needs of the public.

"It has cost me personally and to be honest I feel the level of costs against me in what was a small claims court is an absolute scandal."
