Fathers4Justice today took the decision to disclose that they had received correspondence from the solicitors acting for Prospective Tory Parliamentary Candidate, Caroline Nokes, which they say is a matter of serious public interest after Caroline Nokes threatened the group with an injunction. The group say they have a right to defend their reputation from false and defamatory allegations made by Ms Nokes when she was an MP, both in Parliament and in the media, and they point to the recent public apology made to Fathers4Justice by David Cameron. Further, they refer to ongoing civil action against Ms Nokes.
The group say they regard the threat to seek an injunction against a legitimate lobby group in the run up to the election, as an attempt to silence critics of Caroline Nokes from highlighting her involvement in a campaign of politically motivated intimidation which targeted the 8-yr-old son of F4J founder Matt O’Connor. The group are taking legal advice as to whether her actions are a breach of the Representation of People’s Act.
The group will be calling for a full investigation into the conduct of Ms Nokes when she is re-elected to public office on 7th May.
