Case: Malik v Thames Valley Police (AC-2025-LON-001909)

Purpose: To justify a court-ordered investigation into the financial relationship between Thames Valley Police (TVP) and Kennedys Law LLP.

1. Refusal of Transparency (TVP)

• FOI requests on Kennedys’ payments have been refused or obstructed.
• A public body has no lawful basis to withhold supplier spend data.

2. Digital Concealment (Kennedys)

• Wayback Machine shows Kennedys’ “Public Sector” webpage was live until 2024.
• By September 2025 it was deleted, now showing “404 Not Found.”
• Between June–August 2025, Kennedys also removed their X/Twitter link.
• This is a deliberate erasure strategy, not a technical glitch.

3. Obfuscatory Corporate Structure

• Companies House records show a complex pattern of appointments, resignations, and interlinked entities.
• This is consistent with money flow obfuscation, not standard law firm administration.

4. Absence from Official Frameworks

• Kennedys is not listed on Crown Commercial Service legal frameworks RM6179 or RM6240.
• Yet, they advertise public sector work and clearly serve clients like TVP.
