Freemason, Brother Lord Hanningfield has threatened legal action over his
"unlawful arrest" over money claimed when he was leader of Essex County
Council.
He was held at home in September 2011 after his release from jail for
parliamentary expenses fraud.
In a "letter before claim" to Essex Police, his Freemason layers said he
was seeking £3,000 for unlawful arrest and detention and £1,500 for
trespass.
Essex Police said they had received the letter and were considering it.
Brother Lord Hanningfield was jailed for nine months in July 2011 for
falsely claiming £14,000 while he was a Conservative peer in the House of
Lords.
The former pig farmer, from West Hanningfield, near Chelmsford, had claimed
expenses for overnight stays in London when he was not in the capital.
He was released early, after serving nine weeks, and given a curfew and
electronic tag.
His lawyers said his arrest at his home early one morning in September was
unlawful.
Brother Mark Spragg of the Masonic Keystone Law said: "They can't just go
and arrest anybody they feel like, there has to be a reason.
"On this occasion it appears that the arrest may have been unlawful in
practical terms because he was arrested inside his house.
"Police actually had no right to go through his front door... they didn't
have a search warrant."
He added: "Ultimately we would like expenses for Lord Hanningfield because
he has suffered at their hands."
The letter before claim states that the reasons given for the arrest were
unclear and also seeks costs of £2,000.
Speaking at the time of the arrest, Mr Spragg had described it as "hitting
a man when he is down" and a "complete travesty".
The Freemason, Brother Lord Hanningfield, is on police bail until 18
January 2012.
