How To Put The Dodgy F.O.S. Firmly Back In Their Place.
If you think you have grounds to take a failed F.O.S. case to county court and get a judgement, then that's what you should do. Then, you can question what to do next. I don't think it is impossible to launch court action against the F.O.S. as an individual. Anyhow, all irrelevant, we need people to go to the F.O.S. and get a negative outcome; then go to the Independent Assessor and get a negative otucome; then got to County Court and get a positive outcome; then say 'hang on a minute something is very wrong here' and assess further options. That's what everyone has to do. Obviously one should try and get some advice from the site team about a County Court case if they are unsure. Even if it transpires that we are unable to progress against the F.O.S. as individuals, it will still enable us to push for a Judical Review. We just need to log some woeful F.O.S. decisions that have been reversed in a County Court. Let's stop moaning, rightfully, and get on with it. It's a no brainer that this will work for us.

You won't be able to sue the fos merely for a negative outcome.
You could only bring an action against the if you could show that they owed you a duty and that they had failed in that duty.
Excessive delays, lost documents etc might form the basis of an action against them

I trust you and you undoubtedly know more than me. My thinking was they have guidelines where they are supposed to treat you fairly, examine all the facts and make sensible judgements. If you got a negative outcome, 'then' went to county court with your identical complaint and got a positive outcome from the County Court Judge that's pretty damning on the F.O.S. isn't it? Why can't you sue them for breaking their own guidelines? From what i've heard there are some very clear cases of professional negligence.
In any event, if enough people went to County Court and got positive outcomes it would clearly be grounds for Judicial Review. That may well be better than individual lawsuits anyway.
