Reports

Criminal - My work has included cases involving indecent images of children, counterfeiting credit cards, "chipping" cable TV decoders and counterfeiting music CDs.  Examples of criminal case reports can be found here...

Civil - My work has included cases involving failure of computer components, inability of a computer to operate with an added hardware card, problems accessing the Internet and a faulty laptop computer.  Reports have been prepared for cases in County Court and Small Claims Court.  Examples of civil case reports can be found here...

Employment - I have worked in Employment cases.  The reports produced in these cases are not reproduced here because of the complexity and the circumstances of the cases and are summarised as follows:

Technology - A serving police officer was the subject of disciplinary proceedings after several officers received racist documents via the police force internal mail service.  I assisted in the preparation of reports that discussed the large amount of technically sophisticated computer evidence gathered and reported upon by prosecution computer specialists.  Reports for an internal inquiry and a subsequent Employment Tribunal hearing included analysis of software generated log files and attempts to recreate computer files that matched printed documents.

Disability Discrimination - I prepared a report to show that the implementation of voice recognition software would have been a reasonable step to assist a disabled person using a computer.  I gave evidence at the hearing for two days including most of the second day under cross examination.  An added challenge was a tribunal chairman with a good working knowledge of computers who insisted upon an exceptionally detailed explanation of almost everything.

I have given spoken evidence in Court on several occasions.  Most memorable was the two days of evidence at an Employment Tribunal where each side was represented by Counsel.  Most of the second day was cross examination and that experience fuels my efforts to produce completely bullet proof reports.
