⚖️ PUBLIC LETTER BEFORE ACTION – TIM RUSTEM ⚖️

22ND APRIL 2025

Dear Mr Rustem,

This email constitutes a formal Letter Before Action pursuant to the Pre-Action Protocol for Media and Communications Claims, as well as provisions under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Defamation Act 2013, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Standards and Regulations.

I am writing to put you on notice of imminent legal proceedings regarding:

- Gross misuse of my personal data and legally privileged case history in contravention of UK GDPR Article 5 (Principles Relating to Processing of Personal Data), Article 6 (Lawfulness), and Article 9 (Special Category Data);

- The filing of false, defamatory notices including but not limited to Lumen Database Notice #49027926, wherein you disseminated materially false information relating to my name, aliases, and lawful websites;

- Abuse of your professional standing as a solicitor, in breach of SRA Principles 1 (Uphold the rule of law), 2 (Act with integrity), and 5 (Act in the best interests of clients and the public).

As a former client, you were legally bound by confidentiality obligations. Your public release of sensitive details from historic legal matters, distorted and stripped of context, constitutes an egregious breach of solicitor-client privilege and data protection law. You have disclosed case references, fabricated a criminal narrative, and attributed wholly unfounded criminal intent and medical conditions to me.

The notice you submitted to Google and Lumen was not only devoid of factual or legal merit, but was malicious in intent. You have weaponised your legal qualifications and access to privileged information in a calculated attempt to destroy my online reputation and suppress public interest material which exposes your own alleged criminal misconduct. You have destroyed the lives of many innocent defendants by stealing and pilfering their legal aid money, money which is set aside for the most vulnerable in society.

Please be advised:

- I have reported your actions to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under breach of data protection obligations;

- I have submitted a formal complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) citing serious ethical misconduct, abuse of client trust, and potential grounds for your suspension or striking off;

- I have filed an initial report to the Metropolitan Police referencing your data abuse, false reporting, and calculated reputational harm.

You are hereby ordered to:

- Cease and desist from any further publication, reporting, or submission of notices referencing my name, aliases, or websites;

- Retract and withdraw all defamatory notices filed to third parties (including Google, Lumen Database, and other search engines or platforms);

- Issue a written statement of retraction and apology, sent to the same parties you submitted your false claims to;

- Provide full disclosure of all data you have processed about me, including how, where, and to whom it was distributed.

If I do not receive full compliance within 7 calendar days, I will file proceedings before the High Court of Justice of England and Wales, seeking:

- A permanent injunction against further defamation or misuse of my data;

- Compensatory and aggravated damages for reputational harm;

- A public apology;

- An order for costs.

You are reminded that misuse of data, particularly from a solicitor-client relationship, is viewed gravely by both the Courts and the SRA. Your professional licence is at stake. You are advised to immediately seek independent legal counsel.

I will not hesitate to bring this matter to the High Court and the national press should your defamatory campaign persist.

Govern yourself accordingly.

Sincerely,  
Jason Nicholas Juul
