Great news. They obviously realised they were going to lose the appeal. As for compensation, I would want to recover solicitors costs for the extra hassle they caused you. But at least you can now move on with your life.

Thank you, and thank you also to everyone in this thread who gave advice, support, and encouragement.
Kind regards


For reference, this is what coming off the Register looks like:

Congrats, mate!

Bit of a mess to get there but you go there!

Final Update

Decision to refuse to allow my appeal to come off the Register was overruled before the court case on 4th March and I was today presented with a Discharge Letter.
Solicitor did say I could apply for compensation but I'm not going to bother, just wanted to come off the Register and that's been achieved.

You don't have an SHPO, so you don't have any extra conditions, unless they are referring to licence conditions?

6 months - BP want to call their Inspector + the plod who visits = 4hrs for total case = trying to find a slot to fit all that in.
NR - there is the standard NR, but we seem to need the NR that is specific to each person (extra conditions?)

Surprising that its going take another 6 months to get a hearing. As for the notification requirements, these are not restrictions imposed by the police, but by the law itself. The SOA 2003, which is all documented in parliamentary records. 

Thanks.
Extra info, both parties aware so no loss revealing.

I did apply for the SAR and BP refused it, other than to provide a copy of the texts asking me if I wanted to apply to come off SOR, and also my risk level which has been MEDIUM from 2010 to 2020, when it went to LOW.

Barrister has asked for a full SAR, which BP has agreed to. Will be a week to obtain.
Barrister said demanding a polygraph to come off SOR is not normal. BP state it is, for them. (!)
Curious that they don't seem to have a copy of my court-issued Notification Requirements, so not sure how they're applying restrictions on me they don't even have. (!!)
Nothing set in stone yet, but clear that BP are slippery fucks.

Nothing to say but "good luck"

Society suggests I must let go of all my expectations but I disagree, as whilst I have a voice, I have hope.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.
