Complaint resubmitted today, with text below.

In explanation, I submitted this complaint before I'd worked out which section of the Companies Act was breached by having multiple identities. I was hindered in identifying Section 1082 (Unique identifiers) as I was using ChatGPT, thinking that it was referencing the law. However, ChatGPT was providing me with hyper-realistic text of the law, which OpenAI has admitted was "misinformation". This issue has still not been corrected.

Now, I need to go back through my complaints, prior to finding Section 1082 which requires "Unique Identifiers" and resubmit them.

First is the Judicial Appointments Commission:

"Dear Ms. Barling and Mr. Thomson,

Thank you for your response regarding my concerns about the declarations of interests by Commissioners of the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC).

I wish to bring to your attention a specific legal breach that has significant implications: Section 1082 of the Companies Act mandates the use of unique identifiers for individuals involved in company records. The presence of multiple identities for over half the Board members constitutes a breach of this section. This situation compromises the integrity of accounts and KYC processes, obstructs proper audits, and increases risks related to financial misconduct.

Furthermore, this breach directly contravenes several Nolan Principles:

1. Integrity: Multiple identities obscure transparency and accountability, potentially allowing individuals to evade scrutiny and influence decisions improperly.

2. Accountability: The lack of unique identifiers hinders effective oversight and accountability, as it becomes challenging to trace individuals' actions and responsibilities accurately.

3. Openness: Transparency is compromised when individuals can operate under multiple identities, which may conceal conflicts of interest or undisclosed relationships.

4. Honesty: The existence of multiple identities raises questions about the accuracy and truthfulness of declarations made by Commissioners.

Given these breaches, I urge the JAC to reconsider its stance on this matter. Addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining public trust and ensuring that the Commission operates in accordance with legal requirements and ethical standards.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Alison Wright"
