Apparently from original reviewer:

I didn't lie in my review of Sommerfield Browne and them suing their own client for gain shows everyone what they are. Their friends and family will back them up, as will the other lawyers. I submitted my case based on written law and the judge said it did not apply to me and ordered me to omit the law from my submission, before the trial hearing. The fact is the judge put £6,000 costs on me before the case was even heard - I was literally priced out of justice. I could not attend or I would be accepting these costs. I cannot fight a rich solicitor in front of a biased judge. Seeing there was no justice here I decided not to give the court legitimacy by attending.

Wouldn't there be fee shifting in the UK? By that I mean that the losing party pays the winning party's legal costs. That's supposed to be the default in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_rule_(attorney%27s_fee...

In most jurisdictions there is a higher court you can appeal to if you don't get the result you wanted at the trial court. Denying the trial court's legitimacy and refusing to participate in the judicial process will not help that appeal.


And now he's on the hook for a shitload of money...

Cunning plan, that.


Not to mention a potential charge of contempt of court.
