Formal Complaint Filed Against Barrister Kimberly Aiken
📎 Reference No. 356FC02C | Submitted to Bar Standards Board
Posted by Marius Anton | 22 May 2025
What This Is About
This post is not an opinion piece. It is a formal complaint — filed officially with the Bar Standards Board — against Kimberly Aiken, the barrister who was appointed to defend me at a critical point in my criminal case in 2021.
This complaint carries reference number 356FC02C, and is now under regulatory assessment. But I’m publishing it here to do what the system often fails to do: ensure transparency, truth, and accountability.
The Complaint: What Happened
1. She Submitted a Defence Statement Without My Approval
On 9 May 2021, Kimberly Aiken uploaded a Defence Case Statement to the court’s system without my knowledge or consent.
What’s worse: she removed key exonerating evidence, including a statement made by my wife that showed she and another woman (Patricia Bowers) were colluding to falsely accuse me — a statement that included the chilling words:
“Don’t worry. We have a Plan B.”
2. She Promised to Fight — Then Disappeared
In a video meeting with me and my solicitor that same day, she confidently said:
“I’ll get you out on bail. Just stay away from trouble.”
I believed her.
But four days later, at my bail hearing, the CPS fabricated outrageous claims — including that I was tracking my wife from prison using a GPS device.
Kimberly said nothing.
Then she disappeared from the case, claiming illness. She never returned.
3. The Public Persona vs. The Real Conduct
Kimberly Aiken markets herself as a fearless, meticulous advocate for those falsely accused. On her chambers website, she says she handles false allegations with “lateral thinking” and “discretion.”
She once told me in conversation:
“I divorced my husband because he was dishonest. Since then I am single.”
But when her own integrity was tested, she vanished — leaving the truth silenced and my defence abandoned.
⚖️ Why This Matters
This is not about hurt feelings. It’s about a defence barrister knowingly excluding exonerating evidence.
It’s about submission of a legal document without a client’s approval.
And it’s about a professional who claims to defend justice, stepping away the moment justice needed her most.
📁 What I’ve Done
I submitted this complaint to the Bar Standards Board under case number 356FC02C. I have also escalated to other regulatory bodies where appropriate and will share updates here as they unfold.
