CII “Certificate of Conviction” Under Challenge
Petition Update & Press Release
Chartered Insurance Institute faces serious questions following new evidence that directly challenges the basis of an ongoing investigation into a member’s professional standing.
Formal challenge submitted
A formal notice has now been issued challenging the evidence currently being relied upon by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
During a recorded telephone conversation with a CII investigator, identified as Nirosha, it was confirmed that the Institute is relying on a “Certificate of Conviction” dated 16 March 2017, signed by an individual named Andrew Bate, as proof of an alleged criminal conviction.
This claim has now been subjected to detailed scrutiny.
Forensic review exposes contradictions
A forensic review of the evidence bundle supplied by the Financial Conduct Authority reveals a critical inconsistency:
The FCA’s own internal records do not contain the 2017 certificate
Instead, the FCA relies on a different certificate dated 30 December 2015
This creates an immediate and serious evidential conflict.
Court confirmation: no sealed order exists
Further investigation has produced formal written confirmation from Harrow Crown Court:
The Court Manager, Mr Steven Williams, has confirmed that
no sealed order of conviction exists in this matter
This is a crucial point.
A valid criminal conviction requires a properly issued and sealed court order. Without it, the legal foundation of any such claim is fundamentally undermined.
Key concerns identified
Based on the evidence now available, the material relied upon by the CII appears to:
Conflict with the FCA’s own internal records
Lack any supporting sealed court order or judicial confirmation
Have been issued retrospectively (2017) after the FCA’s original enforcement action began
In addition:
The investigator was unable to identify the source of the original allegation
The explanation provided was simply that it was “public knowledge”
This indicates that no independent verification process has been carried out and raises concerns about reliance on unverified or hearsay information.
Recorded conversation raises further issues
The linked recording highlights several troubling points:
The investigator could not confirm the origin of the allegation
No clear court-issued document was verified during questioning
Requests for clarification were met with limited or incomplete answers
This reinforces concerns about transparency and evidential standards.
Formal requests issued to the CII
In light of these findings, the following actions have been formally requested:
Full disclosure of the source
The CII is requested to identify the origin of the information relied upon, in line with the right to examine third-party material.
Immediate suspension of proceedings
All current action should be paused until a valid, sealed court order is produced — which the court has confirmed does not exist.
Official acknowledgment of challenge
The “Certificate of Conviction” should be formally recorded as disputed, defective, and unsubstantiated pending verification.
Supporting evidence submitted
The challenge is supported by:
A formal letter from Harrow Crown Court confirming no sealed order exists
A comparative analysis of the two conflicting certificates (2015 vs 2017)
Why this matters
This case raises broader concerns about:
The standards of evidence used in professional investigations
The risk of reputational harm based on unverified claims
The importance of due process and transparency
For any regulated professional, the reliance on inconsistent or unsupported documents presents a serious issue.
Petition update
These developments significantly strengthen the concerns raised in the ongoing petition.
They point to:
A lack of verifiable evidence
Contradictions between regulatory bodies
A failure to establish a clear and reliable factual foundation
Conclusion
The central issue remains unchanged:
No sealed court order has been produced, the evidence is inconsistent, and the source of the allegation remains unidentified.
Until these points are addressed, the validity of the investigation — and the documents it relies upon — remains in question.
Further updates will follow as formal responses are received.

Following the report, Bate's was subsequently arrested by detectives from Warrington CID. During questioning he denied all of the allegations against him.
Despite his denials, he was convicted of all the offences following a trial at Liverpool Crown Court which concluded on Thursday 21 May.
Following the sentencing, Detective Constable Maurizio Lucchesi who led the investigation said: “Firstly, I want to praise the victim for the courage that they have shown throughout this investigation.
“Bate is clearly a sexual predator, whose only interest is to fulfil his own sexual gratification. He showed no regard for the victim and even when faced with all the evidence against him, he refused to plead guilty to any of the charges against him.
“Instead, he forced his victim to relive their experiences in court, which could not have been easy for them.
“Thankfully, as a result of the bravery of the victim, and the evidence we gathered, the jury have seen through his lies, and he is now being held accountable for his actions.
“I hope that the sentence handed to Bates will provide the victim with some closure and allow them to move forward with their lives, knowing that he will never be able do the same to any other children.”
In addition to the custodial sentence Bate’s was ordered to sign the sexual offenders’ register and comply with a sexual harm prevention order for life.
Detective Constable Lucchesi added: “Nobody should have to experience what the victim has been though and if anything can come from this case, I hope that it encourages other victims of sexual offences to come forward and report them to us.
“Cheshire Constabulary takes any allegation of sexual offences extremely seriously, and any allegation will be thoroughly investigated, with the wishes and needs of the victim as our main priority.
“Victims should never feel ashamed to talk about what they have been subjected to. They will receive the help and support they need from our specialist officers, as well as from other support agencies we work alongside, and all victims of sexual offences have the right to anonymity.”
