Summary of request
Request:
Dear all,
This is an FOI request based on scale of fraud and abuse of courts I have faced via solicitor Womble Bond Dickinson.
I would like to know via FOI disclosure if Met Police, Mayor of London’s office or MOPAC use, retain or engage in any way and with any services linked to legal firm Womble Bond Dickinson.
Response:
Your request was addressed to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC).
Although the GLA, MOPAC and the MPS are related, they are three separate Public Authorities for the purposes of The Freedom of Information Act as listed under schedule 1 of the Act.
This response is about the GLA’s records only.
Transport for London (TfL) provides the GLA’s legal function under a shared services arrangement. The GLA generally appoints its external lawyers through the TfL Legal Panel which was procured in 2019. I can confirm that Womble Bond Dickinson are on the TfL Legal Panel.
