Thanks to MOJUK for this article:
Had a Rejection From the CCRC - Send it Back
Message from Glyn Maddocks:
It was good to talk to you last week and thanks for filling me in with all the information about MOJUK. I am sorry I haven't been in touch before now - please have a look at the Centre for Criminal Appeals (CCA) website
http://www.criminalappeals.org.uk/people.html
Anyway, the point I wanted to make, which I thought you might like to put in one of your next newsletters concerns what Richard Foster said about the CCRC when he appeared on the 'Law in Action' programme a couple of weeks ago. On air, Richard Foster said in clear terms "if we think there is something wrong, we will work tirelessly to work out what that might be". He then went onto say "We have never faced a situation where we thought there has been a miscarriage of justice and we have not been able to refer the case". (sic)
What I am suggesting, therefore, is that all of your readers who have had rejections from the CCRC, but whose case has merit and who've obviously suffered a miscarriage of justice, should write to Mr Foster, the Chair of the CCRC, as suggested below.
Draft letter:
Attention: Mr Richard Foster CBE, Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission, 5 St Philip's Place, Birmingham. B3 2PW.
Dear Mr Foster
End of draft, if you do send your case back, let me know the result:

Dear Mr Foster
Law in Action - 10th February 2015
I listened, with interest to your comments, on the BBC's 'Law in Action' programme (Radio 4 - 10th February 2015).
During the course of that broadcast, you indicated that in cases, where there was an element of doubt, the CCRC would always refer the matter to the Court of Appeal.
Specifically, you said "If we think there is something wrong, we will work tirelessly to work out what that might be". You then went onto say "We've never faced a situation where we have thought there has been a miscarriage of justice and we have not been able to refer the case".
On that basis, I would be grateful if you could reconsider my particular conviction and the application that I made to the CCRC for my conviction to be referred back to the Court of Appeal. There was clear evidence, that I am the victim of a miscarriage of justice and I would be grateful if you could ensure that the CCRC reconsiders my case as a matter of urgency, in the light of your recent comments.
I look forward to hearing from.
Yours sincerely
