Please sign here if you think that Mr. Ernest John Coles has been treated un fairly by the Courts, Devon County Council and Sanctuary Care, would you like Ernest John Coles to be able to see his wife Maggie on their 55th Wedding Anniversary on the 28th of March 2013 and there after. Mr.Coles has been taken to court twice at Exeter County Court in front of the same Judge Tyzack and offered no legal representation on either occasion. On the 19th of March at 9.30 am he has been invited back to the same court and the same judge to extend the injunction banning him from going near the care home we're his wife is very frail This has been instigated by Sanctuary Care/housing/group.............

Poor man just wants to see his wife. Let them see each other for gods sake.

Total disgrace. Sanctuary Care should be ashamed of themselves keeping a husband from his wife.

Same judge twice with no representation?! Something smells really fishy here. Support for Ernest.

Ridiculous that he has no legal help. How can they do this to an elderly man? Leave him alone.
