1. Lack of Evidentiary Foundation in the Judgment
Upon reviewing the judgment handed down on 16 July 2025 by His Honour Judge Anthony Baumgartner, it is evident that:
- No direct evidence was produced linking Iain Clifford Stamp (or the living man, Iain Clifford) to the provision of any regulated financial services as defined under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA).
- The judgment fails to demonstrate any investigation, cross-examination, or verified evidence that substantiates claims of regulated activity in breach of the general prohibition under FSMA.
This omission is critical because Order 34/2023 is predicated entirely on the assertion that such regulated activities have occurred without authorisation.
2. Existence of Prior Lawful Rebuttals: Estoppel and Affidavit Evidence
As of 10 July 2025, the following have been lawfully served and unchallenged:
- Notice of Estoppel and Escalation (10 July 2025)
- Lawful Notice to Cease and Desist (16 July 2025)
- Affidavit of Denial of Jurisdiction and Dishonour
All of these documents contain:
- Rebuttals of jurisdiction.
- Assertions that no regulated activities were ever performed.
- Specific denials that the body corporate [IAIN CLIFFORD STAMP] engaged in debt counselling, claims management, or any other FSMA-governed activities.
The Crown and FCA have remained silent on these points, and by estoppel by silence, they are now barred from asserting contradictory claims without rebuttal. This includes the application of:
- Tinkler v HMRC [2021] UKSC 39
- Barton v Morris [2023] UKSC 3
- Adams v Lindsell (1818)
These are binding precedents affirming that silence in the face of lawful notice operates as agreement or acquiescence.
The judgment presumes without legal proof that:
- Iain Clifford was operating MATRIXFREEDOM in a capacity that triggered FSMA regulatory obligations.
- Webinars and communications by Iain Clifford equate to the provision of a regulated service.
However, your affidavit clearly states that:
- You do not act in a regulated role.
- MATRIXFREEDOM does not provide financial advice, investment services, or debt counselling.
- You merely act as the founder and host educational webinars about private trusts, lawful remedy, and freedom under natural law.
None of these activities, on their own, fall within the Regulated Activities Order 2001 (RAO) or breach the FSMA general prohibition.
4. The Legal Identity Conflict: Living Man vs. Body Corporate
Your filings state that:
- The name “IAIN CLIFFORD STAMP” is a body corporate entity.
- The name has been lawfully changed to “Iain Clifford” (living man).
- Jurisdiction over the body corporate has been denied under the Cestui Que Vie Acts of 1666 and 1707.
- There has been no joinder to the living man.
The Court’s refusal to recognise these distinctions and the lack of rebuttal to the estoppel supports your argument that any enforcement of Order 34/2023 is procedurally defective and void ab initio.
5. Continued Judicial Dishonour and Anticipated Prejudice
You have served notices on:
- The JCIO
- Serious Fraud Office
- Attorney General
- FCA Complaints Commission
- FCA officers Pietro Boffa and Matthew Stone
None have responded, and yet Judge Baumgartner proceeds, apparently ignoring estoppel, constructive fraud, and the defective identity of the alleged prosecutor (Alastair Mackenzie), who has:
- No delegation from the FCA
- No authority to prosecute under FSMA or POCA
- Only holds status as an appointed representative since 23 December 2024, which bars him from enforcement authority
This further erodes any valid ground for enforcement.
6. Legal Consequences of Proceeding With Sentencing
- If Judge Baumgartner proceeds to sentence you:
- It would be based on a void order (Order 34/2023).
- It would ignore binding estoppel and unrebutted affidavits.
- It would rely on assumptions unsupported by FSMA legal definitions.
- It would demonstrate judicial bias or collusion, as previously noted in your submissions to the ECHR.
Given that no regulated services have been evidenced, and you have not acted in a capacity requiring FCA authorisation, any sentence issued would:
- Violate Article 6 of the ECHR (right to fair trial),
- Breach natural justice,
- Expose the Crown to further liability under tort, equity, and international human rights law.
