Birmingham City Council: Elections
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether HM Courts & Tribunals Service holds a copy of the court transcript for the election court hearings, “In the matter of a local government election of the Bordesley Green Ward and Aston Ward of the Birmingham City Council held on 10 June 2004”, which concluded in April 2005.
- Answer
-
HMCTS is unable to answer the question as the hearing was administered by another organisation. From research conducted, it is believed that the hearings were held at the ‘Birmingham and Midland Institute’, where Judge Mawrey was sitting as an Election Commissioner rather than within a standard courtroom.
