It’s a fundamental principle of our law that any citizen can petition the courts in person in pursuit of a remedy but this particular case is highly illustrative of the need to get proper legal advice and be guided by that advice. I sincerely hope that this was a case where the pursuer failed to do that rather than that he tried but it was unavailable to him, for whatever reason. Still, when you consider some of the arguments pursued and the way that they were pursued, you can’t help laughing.
Yes- I have to say I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during the original assessment.
