The Child Maintenance
System Is Broken
By Design
Over several years, the Child Maintenance Service has been issuing its own summons — documents CMS's own FOI response confirms it issues itself (not the court). Under law, a summons must be issued by a justice of the peace to be valid. No court has issued these. CMS has been seizing wages, freezing bank accounts, and imprisoning parents on instruments confirmed by DWP in writing not to be court orders. The government's own lawyers have admitted it. The evidence is here.

Alexander Nicholson — A Case Across Every Failure
. Mr Nicholson's case is documented across this entire investigation — from inflated calculation, to unlawful policy application, to void enforcement instrument, to the 27 March 2026 bulk hearing at which a lay representative raising the s.51 MCA 1980 jurisdictional objection was removed by court security. His case is at the heart of High Court proceedings AC-2025-LON-001412.
Every stage of what CMS does to a paying parent is documented in his case: a debt the origin of which is disputed; a summons CMS generated from its own template in Plymouth or Wolverhampton; a hearing at which 48 cases were processed simultaneously; an order with no court seal and no judicial officer identified; enforcement by Equita under an instrument DWP now admits is its own administrative template. This is the complete picture.
Weston-super-Mare: ~300 Liability Orders. One Sitting. Just Over an Hour.
On 8 July 2026, Weston-super-Mare Magistrates' Court listed approximately 300 CMS liability order applications in a single session lasting just over one hour. Each order is documented as generating £300 to CMS — approximately £90,000 in a single sitting, from a single court, in a process the court has no jurisdiction to scrutinise.
No individual judicial consideration. No examination of whether any calculation is correct — s.33(4) CSA 1991 bars it. No Article 6 compliance for any single one of those parents. Several thousand liability orders are granted in this way across England and Wales each year. This is not enforcement — it is bulk administrative rubber-stamping dressed as judicial process. No court issued the summonses. CMS did. That is confirmed in their own words.
"This is the only document that constitutes the order."
DWP's own Central FOI Team confirmed on 25 June 2026 that the document served on paying parents as a Liability Order is a CMS administrative template — not a court order. This is the government's own written admission of 18 years of unlawful enforcement. GLD confirmed in High Court proceedings (Z2500859 para 8) that CMS — not the court — served the summons. CMS enforcement officials stated on recorded calls: "There are no court orders — they're memorandums."
CMS Has Been Collecting Millions
in Fictitious Debt.
Money Parents Do Not Owe.
This is not a calculation error. This is a systemic failure on a documented, industrial scale. The NAO has confirmed material inaccuracies in CMS and CSA debt calculations for over 30 consecutive years. The calculation platform runs on software judicially confirmed as built on stolen intellectual property. And yet thousands of parents — many of whom do not owe the debt being enforced against them — have no way to challenge it. Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights has been structurally removed from this process. No court is permitted to check whether the debt is correct. No independent body verifies the figures before enforcement. The money is simply taken.
Debts That Simply Do Not Exist
Parents report arrears appearing with no corresponding period of non-payment. Debts confirmed as paid — reappearing weeks later. Balances that grow even while a DEO is in place and every penny is being deducted. The NAO confirmed a statistical impossibility in 2020–21: compliance reached a record high of 72% while unpaid balances grew by £54 million in the same year. The arithmetic does not work — unless the debt figures themselves are wrong.

Enforcement Against Parents Who Have the Children in Their Care
Documented cases exist of CMS enforcing maintenance debt against parents who are themselves the resident carer — parents who have the children living with them full-time or in shared care arrangements that CMS has not updated or has miscalculated. Shared care nights miscounted. Custody arrangements ignored. Enforcement continuing after a child has moved to live with the so-called "paying" parent. These parents are being made to pay for children already in their care.
Source: Parent witness statements · Parliamentary records · CMS complaints data
Thousands of parents are sitting with fictitious debts they cannot challenge. There is no independent body with the power to check whether a CMS calculation is correct. There is no court that is permitted to examine it. Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights — the right to a fair hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal — has been architecturally removed from this process.
Courts cannot examine the calculation — s.33(4) CSA 1991 bars them from checking whether the debt is correct at enforcement stage
The Secretary of State is simultaneously the creditor, enforcement authority, and decision-maker — no independent tribunal exists at any stage
DWP withholds its own Article 6 legal advice under legal professional privilege — FOI IR2026/14071
The calculation platform (TCS BaNCS) runs on judicially confirmed stolen code — its accuracy has never been independently audited
The NAO has confirmed material inaccuracies for 30+ consecutive years — the accounts cannot be verified
The 2023 Act intended to create lawful administrative LOs has never been commenced — yet enforcement continues as though it has
Every individual case in which CMS has obtained a liability order and enforced a debt must be independently investigated. There are now thousands of potential cases involving fictitious or inflated debts — money that was never owed, taken from parents who had no means of challenging it, through a process that the government has now admitted was never lawful. This is not a matter of administrative reform. It is a matter of justice.
A statutory independent investigation must be established — with the power to: examine individual calculations against HMRC income data; audit the TCS BaNCS platform; review every case where enforcement was taken on a void instrument; provide a redress mechanism for parents who paid money they did not owe; and restore Article 6 rights to every person subject to CMS enforcement.
People Are Dying.
The Government Knows.
And Has Done Nothing.
STOPSuicides UK wrote directly to Baroness Sherlock in February 2026 with these figures — calculated using DWP's own disclosed mortality data. They calculated approximately 4,600 excess deaths in the paying parent population over five years using a conservative 2× multiplier applied to DWP's own figures. Baroness Sherlock has commissioned no independent research. The enforcement regime has been expanded.
DWP actively discourages FOI requests for suicide data — documented by the Justice4Gavin Briggs campaign. Accounting records for arrears write-offs were deleted under GDPR in 2020–21, preventing NAO audit of which debts were written off and why — debts that may themselves have been fictitious.
These are not statistics. They are people. Fathers. Mothers. People who were pursued for money they may not have owed, under instruments confirmed as void, through a process from which Article 6 — the right to a fair hearing — was structurally removed. Each death deserves an independent inquest. Each case deserves independent investigation.

Every Legal Route Has Been
Removed or Priced Out.
That Is Not an Accident.
Parliament has carved away every conventional legal remedy available to a paying parent facing a fictitious or inflated CMS debt. There is no tribunal with jurisdiction over the validity of the instrument. There is no Ombudsman with power to correct an individual debt figure. The court at the enforcement hearing is barred by statute from examining the calculation. The administrative liability order regime that would have created an appeal right has never been commenced.
Judicial review — the court of last resort — is the only remaining remedy. It is the only route left to challenge the lawfulness of the enforcement regime itself. It directly engages Article 6 ECHR (right to a fair trial by an independent tribunal) and Article 13 ECHR (right to an effective remedy where Convention rights are breached). These rights are not discretionary. They are absolute.
And yet: when paying parents apply for judicial review — as the only remedy left to them — they face immediate adverse costs orders simply for applying. Cases are certified as Totally Without Merit (TWM) under CPR 54.12(7) at the permission stage, before the case is even heard on its merits. The parent is then liable for significant costs. They are threatened with further costs if they continue. The message is unmistakable: this route is for you too, but we will make it hurt.
"Where there is a right, there is a remedy." — Ubi jus ibi remedium · Common law principle, Ashby v White (1703)
If Article 6 has been removed from enforcement proceedings, and judicial review is then priced out of reach through costs orders, then no effective remedy exists. Article 13 ECHR is directly violated. The government is in breach of two Convention rights simultaneously — and is using costs orders to prevent the courts from saying so.
Every Remedy — Removed, Barred, or Priced Out
Court at enforcement hearing
Barred from examining the calculation — s.33(4) CSA 1991. Cannot check if the debt is correct.
Administrative LO appeal
Never commenced. ss.32M/32N CSA 1991 — confirmed uncommenced by Andrew Western MP, 18 March 2026.
Parliamentary Ombudsman
No power to correct individual debt figures. Can find maladministration but cannot compel CMS to zero a debt.
FTT Appeal on calculation
Can vary the calculation — but cannot override enforcement while it runs. Cannot set aside a void liability order. Cannot compel enforcement pause.
Judicial Review — The ONLY remedy left
Now met with TWM certification at permission stage, adverse costs orders, and threatened further costs. Priced out before it can be heard.
Three Judicial Review Cases. Documented Evidence of Potential Executive Interference. HMCTS and the Judiciary Must Be Investigated.
Three separate judicial review applications involving CMS enforcement — including AC-2025-LON-001412 — contain documented evidence raising serious concerns about the conduct of the Government Legal Defence (GLD) in these proceedings. This evidence has been formally documented and is available on request. It raises questions that go beyond the conduct of any individual case: whether the executive is acting to suppress judicial scrutiny of the CMS enforcement regime, and whether HMCTS and the judiciary have been placed in a position that requires independent investigation.
In AC-2025-LON-001412, the claim was certified as Totally Without Merit under CPR 54.12(7) on 9 February 2026 — before the Government Legal Defence had filed a full response, before the GLD's own judicial admission (Z2500859 para 8) had been made, and before DWP's own FOI confirmation (FOI2026/50177, 25 June 2026) had been obtained. That admission — that CMS, not the court, served the summons — directly supports the central ground of the application that was certified as without merit. The N244 application to set aside the TWM certification has been undetermined for eight months. The N161 appeal has received no direction in ten weeks. Enforcement continues throughout.
CONCERN 1
TWM certification made before the GLD's own written admissions were on the record — admissions that directly support the grounds certified as without merit
CONCERN 2
N244 and N161 applications left undetermined for eight months and ten weeks respectively — while enforcement under the challenged instruments continues
CONCERN 3
Across three documented JR applications: adverse costs threatened or ordered simply for applying — creating a costs barrier to the only remedy available for a direct breach of Article 6 and Article 13 ECHR
HMCTS and the judiciary must be independently investigated. HMCTS provided the infrastructure for bulk hearings. Courts made orders on instruments HMCTS now confirms have no court file entry. The GLD's conduct across three cases requires scrutiny by the Attorney General, the Lord Chancellor, and the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office. Documented evidence for all three cases is held by the CMS Files investigation and is available on request to authorised investigators, legal professionals, parliamentary committees, and the National Crime Agency.

TCS/CMS2012 Procurement
£36m → £1.2bn. The core payment platform judicially confirmed as built on wilfully stolen intellectual property. A 26-fold cost overrun with no competitive re-procurement. Conflicts of interest at minister and permanent secretary level. Geopolitical immunity.
New Admissions &
Breaking Evidence
DWP FOI2026/50177 — The Central Admission
DWP Central FOI Team confirms in writing: "This is the only document that constitutes the order." The CMEL7298 liability order template is a CMS administrative document — not a court order. This is the government's own unambiguous written admission that the instruments enforced against 790,000 paying parents have no judicial origin.
CMEL7298_v011 Disclosed — Template Confirmed
DWP upholds FOI complaint, disclosing CMEL7298 version 011. Three simultaneous signatories listed with none identified. "Taken before me" field blank. Eleven or more versions of the template confirmed — meaning CMS has been iterating its own court-impersonating documents for years. Source: IR2026/48392.
US 5th Circuit — TCS BaNCS Permanent Injunction
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed TCS wilfully and maliciously misappropriated CSC trade secrets — including source code — to build TCS BaNCS: the exact payment platform running inside CMS2012. Permanent injunction bars TCS from using that version of BaNCS. DWP awarded TCS a new £42–49m contract one month after the District Court ruling. No debarment assessment published.
Baroness Sherlock Lords Admission — "Uncoupling"
In Lords Grand Committee debate, Baroness Sherlock admitted the new CMS2012 system will "uncouple" from court processes — confirming CMS enforcement was previously coupled to court processes it was operating without lawful authority. She also admitted personally engaging with Scottish judicial authorities on ALO implementation — a regime confirmed uncommenced.
Contradictory Ministerial Written Answers — 8 Days Apart
Andrew Western MP confirmed ss.32M/32N Child Support (Enforcement) Act 2023 uncommenced on 18 March 2026. Same minister contradicted this answer on 26 March 2026 — eight days later. The administrative LO regime that would lawfully authorise CMS enforcement has never been commenced. CMS has operated as though it did for years.
48 Bulk Orders — MK Magistrates — DJ Sharma Removed Lay Rep
District Judge Arvind Kumar Sharma (SRA 25195) presided over 48 simultaneous CMS enforcement listings at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court. When lay representative Christina Little raised s.51 MCA 1980 jurisdictional nullity as a preliminary objection, she was removed from court by security. JCIO complaint filed — 11 grounds. TVP and MoJ referrals active.

Twelve Matters Requiring
Independent Investigation
The following matters are documented in the four intelligence dossiers published by this investigation. Each requires an independent investigation with powers of compelled disclosure. All dossiers are free to download, free to share, and free to submit as evidence.
Void CMS Enforcement Instruments
DWP admits CMEL7298 is "the only document that constitutes the order" — a CMS administrative template. 790,000 paying parents under enforcement on documents confirmed not to be court orders. GLD admitted CMS served the summons (Z2500859 para 8). 18 years of unlawful enforcement.
Fictitious and Inflated Debt Calculations
NAO adverse opinions for 30+ consecutive years. £29.7m in confirmed incorrect calculations. Arrears growing while compliance hits record high. The calculation platform (TCS BaNCS) built on judicially confirmed stolen IP. No court permitted to check (s.33(4) CSA 1991). No independent verification mechanism published.
False Imprisonment of Paying Parents
C.J. — 42 days HMP Peterborough under LO 821013797101. Debt confirmed paid. HMCTS confirms no valid order on court file. Parents committed to prison under void instruments generated by a system the government admits produces no court orders.
Excess Deaths — 4,600 in Five Years
DWP FOI2025/78063: 9,258 paying parent deaths 2020–2024. STOPSuicides UK calculates ~4,600 excess deaths using DWP's own figures. 14.28× mortality rate confirmed by peer-reviewed analysis. DWP actively discourages FOI requests for suicide data. No independent inquiry commissioned.
TCS BaNCS — Stolen IP / £1.2bn Overrun
5th Circuit confirmed TCS BaNCS built on wilfully stolen IP (No.24-10749, Nov 2025). Permanent injunction on that version. DWP awarded TCS new contract one month after damages ruling. £36m → £1.2bn cost overrun. £71m PM costs vs £81m build — ratio impossible in legitimate programmes. No debarment assessment published.
Baroness Sherlock — Ministerial Code Breaches
CEO NCOF 1997–2003. Treasury adviser 2000–2003. CMEC SID 2008–2010. Declared all five times as parliamentarian. Declared none on appointment as minister July 2024. Lobbyied by Gingerbread (her predecessor organisation) in November 2025 — she responded formally. Ministerial Code paras 1.6(f) and 3.14 engaged.
Gingerbread — Sock Puppet Lobbying
£383,595 DWP funding. APPG secretariat writing MP briefings scrutinising DWP CMS policy. Lobbied Sherlock November 2025 — received formal ministerial response. Cabinet Office anti-lobbying clause compliance: unknown. Charity Commission statutory inquiry demanded. Attorney General referred.
Article 6 ECHR — Structural Incompatibility
48 cases bulk-listed before single DJ. SoS simultaneously creditor, enforcement authority, and surcharge recipient. s.33(4) bars courts from examining calculations. DWP withholds its own Article 6 legal advice under LPP (FOI IR2026/14071). Joint Committee on Human Rights referral active.
2023 Act — Uncommenced / Unworkable
Child Support (Enforcement) Act 2023 ss.2–4 never commenced. Nine regulatory requirements unmet. Appeal regulations not made. SoS's 20% surcharge financial interest fails Tsfayo [2006] impartiality test. Scotland-specific provisions absent. Cannot lawfully commence in current form. Yet CMS operates as if it has been.
NAO Audit Removal Without Parliamentary Vote
CMS Client Funds Account audit removed for 2025–26. No parliamentary vote. No published reason. No parliamentary debate. Through these accounts pass £1.4bn annually in maintenance payments and £106m in surcharge income. Removed in the year a High Court JR challenges the lawfulness of the enforcement regime.
Sir Robert Devereux — Revolving Door
DWP Perm Sec / Accounting Officer 2011–2018. Oversaw all TCS contract decisions including unexplained £126m cost jump. Retired January 2018 — exact month original TCS contract ended. Joined Salesforce September 2019: direct competitor of Oracle Siebel, the CRM layer he oversaw at DWP. ACOBA approved. No published post-departure assessment of procurement decisions.
JCIO — DJ Sharma Bulk Hearing Conduct
48 cases simultaneously listed MK Magistrates 27 March 2026. DJ Arvind Kumar Sharma SRA 25195. Lay representative raised s.51 jurisdictional objection — removed by security. Prior undisclosed connection: fee-paid FTT Social Entitlement Chamber judge. 11-ground JCIO complaint filed. TVP referrals BCA-5654-26-4320-03 and BCA-18321-26-4343-IR active.
