FINANCIAL FRAUDSTER NEWS INVESTIGATIONS EXCLUSIVE EXPOSE: UK Judges HHJ Backhouse and Master Fontaine Accused of Corruption and Abuse of Public Office, Police Complaint Filed
London, UK – A seismic scandal is gripping the UK judiciary, as allegations of corruption and abuse of public office have led to a formal police complaint against two prominent judges: County Court judge Wendy Backhouse and High Court judge Barbara Fontaine (below).
Sources close to the proceedings reveal a shocking disregard for the Seven Principles of Public Life, with accusations that both judges conspired to pervert the course of justice in cases heard before them.
Shaun Mills, a renowned entrepreneur, investor, and multi-business owner behind Shaun Mills & Co, has expressed profound shock at the alleged conduct. Mr. Mills’ London paralegals company has reportedly become the target of an overt judicial effort to falsely link it to an unnamed individual currently under court sanctions – an individual judges are allegedly intent on portraying as the clandestine force behind the multi-million-pound company.
Judicial Conspiracy: Fabricated Links and Falsehoods
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has meticulously scrutinised public records and found no credible links between Shaun Mills & Co. and any unknown person or a 'vexatious litigant.' Our findings directly contradict the narrative allegedly being pushed by this "cabal of judges." Companies House Register clearly indicates that Shaun Mills has unequivocally controlled his company since 2020.

Mr. Mills has not minced words regarding the judicial conduct: “Any attempt by a judge or anyone to state that I don’t control my company, is simply false and the corrupt judges who are actively involved in making judgments that state otherwise are simply dishonest and are abusing their lofty positions in society to pervert the course of justice.”
Sources reveal that Mr. Mills’ growing concerns over judicial integrity led him to formally complain to the UK Judicial Conduct Authority. The response, a blunt directive to report the matter to the police if evidence of serious allegations existed against any judicial public official(s), directly preceded the lodging of the current police complaint.
Mr. Mills firmly believes that several judges are abusing their positions, actively engaging in a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. This is allegedly achieved by falsely asserting that a non-party – who, if linked, could cause Mr. Mills, Shaun Mills & Co., or its subsidiaries to have cases struck, dismissed, or otherwise tainted – is somehow clandestinely orchestrating the company.
Breaching the Seven Principles of Public Life
The alleged actions of HHJ Backhouse and Master Fontaine strike at the very heart of the Seven Principles of Public Life: Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty, and Leadership. If the accusations are proven, their conduct would represent a fundamental betrayal of the judicial oath and a profound erosion of public trust in the justice system.
HHJ Backhouse's Troubling Pattern: A 'Sham Hearing' and 'Bogus Judgment'
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has uncovered disturbing court documents in linked proceedings from July 2021 at the Mayors and City of London County Court. These documents confirm that HHJ Backhouse was fully aware that a specific vexatious litigant had previously been successfully sued by a former employer, resulting in a court-approved settlement. This knowledge, crucial to objectivity, appears to have been wilfully disregarded.
Further, our investigations reveal that HHJ Backhouse allegedly permitted a landlord, who was accused of egregious breaches of contract in separate proceedings, to falsely assert that their counterparty was, in fact, an agent of the vexatious litigant. The apparent motive: if a link to a vexatious litigant could be established, it would supposedly allow the judge to find in favour of the accused landlord, regardless of the merits of the breach of contract claim.

In a case previously presided over by HHJ Luba, it appears that HHJ Backhouse (Left) was inexplicably "parachuted in" to the proceedings with a singular, predetermined aim: to establish, regardless of truth or justice, that a vexatious litigant was the agent, controlling mind, or otherwise linked to the claimant company. This selective intervention resulted in what is being described as a "sham hearing" disguised as a case management hearing. This hearing, on the facts, culminated in a "bogus judgment" that fundamentally lacked honesty and transparency.
The judge, it is alleged, knew that the evidence before her was directly at odds with a Part 36 settlement that she was aware existed in a separate, linked case. Furthermore, she allegedly disregarded evidence of a £1.5 million settlement in yet another linked case involving the very same vexatious litigant. This renders the evidence she relied upon as false, yet the judge made no reference to her prior knowledge of these other proceedings, allegedly to successfully pervert the course of justice.
The "shameless and dishonourable judge's fraudulent sham order" is now subject to appeal. Such conduct, if proven, demonstrates a callous indifference to the consequences of her actions and clearly blots the copybook of her previously promising judicial ascent to higher office since her appointment as HHJ on 22 January 2018.
Police Complaint Confirmed: A Dangerous Precedent
Financial Fraudster News Investigations can confirm that a formal complaint regarding these grave allegations has been lodged with the police. The involvement of law enforcement in scrutinising the conduct of serving judges for alleged perversion of justice marks an unprecedented and deeply concerning moment for the UK's legal system.
A spokesperson for Shaun Mills & Co. and its sister paralegal company have, understandably, refused to comment at this stage.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations will continue to keep readers updated with any future developments as this unprecedented judicial corruption probe unfolds.
