Redbridge decided not to appeal against the disclosure orders. However, when I argued to senior Redbridge staff that a belated standard of conduct investigation into Jas Athwal was required, the Council declined to do so. 4 –I say this refusal to carry out a belated standards investigation into Mr Athwal rises to a concern of a criminal conspiracy to prevent Mr Athwal being fined for his unlicensed sub-standard rental flats. 5 – I ...
