Christopher Byrne - Notary Public

Complaints

1      My notarial practice is regulated by the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury: 

The Faculty Office
1, The Sanctuary
Westminster
London
SW1P 3JT 

Telephone 020 7222 5381
Email Faculty.office@1thesanctuary.com
Website www.facultyoffice.org.uk 

2      If you are dissatisfied about the service you have received please do not hesitate to contact me. 

3      If we are unable to resolve the matter you may then complain to the Notaries Society of which I am a member, who have a Complaints Procedure which is approved by the Faculty Office.  This procedure is free to use and is designed to provide a quick resolution to any dispute.  

4     In that case please write (but do not enclose any original documents) with full details of your complaint to:
 
The Secretary of The Notaries Society
Old Church Chambers
23 Sandhill Road
St James
Northampton 
NN5 5LH
 

Telephone 01604 758908
Email secretary@thenotariessociety.org.uk 

If you have any difficulty in making a complaint in writing, please do not hesitate to call the Notaries Society/the Faculty Office for assistance.  

5      Finally, even if you have your complaint considered under the Notaries Society Approved Complaints Procedure, you may at the end of that procedure, or after a period of eight weeks from the date you first notified me that you were dissatisfied, make your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman, if you are not happy with the result:  

Legal Ombudsman
Baskerville House,
Centenary Square,
Broad Street,
Birmingham
B1 2ND
Telephone : 0300 555 0333 

Email: enquiries@legalombudsman.org.uk
Website: www.legalombudsman.org.uk 

6.            If you decide to make a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman you must refer your matter to the Legal Ombudsman within six months from the conclusion of the complaint process.
