Alan Blacker
Alan Blacker (born July 1972, in Rochdale) is a former English solicitor advocate. Blacker first became known for being criticised for his appearance when attending court. Subsequently, Blacker was struck off after questions were asked about various qualifications and awards that he claimed to have received. Later Blacker was found guilty of benefit fraud.
Blacker volunteered in the office of then-MP Lorna Fitzsimons between 2002 and 2004.
Blacker qualified as a solicitor in 2010, and in 2011 registered JAFLAS (Joint Armed Forces Legal Advocacy Service) as a charity. JAFLAS is not related to the UK armed forces.
In 2013 the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) wrote to Blacker to tell him to remove the SRA number from JAFLAS notepaper as it was likely to mislead people into thinking that JAFLAS was "an authorised and regulated legal services provider”, when it was not.
In 2015 Blacker appeared on the ITV program Parking Wars.
In August 2014 Alan Blacker, who was at Cardiff Crown Court acting for the defence of a man who was subsequently jailed for five years for causing death by dangerous driving, was criticised by Judge David Wynn Morgan for appearing in court wearing various medals and ribbons on his robes. Morgan described Blacker as appearing "like something out of Harry Potter", and said that if Blacker appeared before him looking like that again he would decline to hear him. Morgan also questioned Blacker, who called himself "Lord Harley of Counsel" regarding his claim to an Irish peerage. Blacker claimed that the medals and ribbons were awarded by the St John Ambulance for voluntary medical services. Blacker complained to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) about Morgan's comments, however in July 2015 the JCIO cleared Morgan of any wrong-doing.
In September 2014 an investigation published by Wales Online into Alan Blacker's qualifications concluded that he did not have many of the qualifications, awards, and titles that he claimed to have. These included being a member of the Order of St John, a fellow of the Institute of Health Care Management, having been an honorary colonel in the Royal Artillery Association, having received a summa cum laude degree from Oxford University, having attended Trinity College, and his claimed Irish peerage. Blacker complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation regarding the report, but the complaint was not upheld.
In 2016, the SRA then began an investigation into Blacker, which resulted in proceedings before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. Blacker sought a High Court injunction against the Tribunal in relation to an alleged breach of the Equality Act. but the injunction was refused. Blacker declined to send documents or attend a Tribunal hearing due to what he claimed was an injury he incurred whilst performing CPR.
