Do not go to court expecting justice .You will get an application or interpretation of the law .

My advice, stay out of Court, I found the experience a complete farcical event, I actual was expecting Jeremy Beadle to pop out. The theatrical pompus Barrister put on a performance which led away from any fact or truth, and the two legal eagles sat at the helm looked completely switched off, half asleep and unfocused. This was a civil case, It frightened me and led me to well believe how innocent people end up in jail.

We were facing a defeat in court. The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) had inspected the hair removal laser we had bought for £47, 000 and said it was safe, even though we had evidence that laser was dangerous.

Months away from the court action our legal costs were £50, 000. The court proceedings was expected to last 3-4 days. There were three parties: we as the plaintiff, the first defendendent reseller and the second defendendent manufacturer.

If we lost the claim, our legal costs would have been about £300, 000 + and we would have a dangerous laser collecting dust in a cupboard.

Feeling desperate, I bought the British Standard for manufacturing lasers. It's a very technical document and very difficult to read. I read it slowly and methodically. It took a long time. Our salvation was contained in one paragraph and basically said all skin lasers must have a fully enclosed laser beam. The £47, 000 laser we had bought had a laser beam exposed to the air. I highlighted the paragraph and left it with our solicitor.

About a week later, the solicitor telephoned to say that two directors had flown in from abroad and were eager to settle out of court. JOB DONE!

It’s very good you tell us all these things. Very much appreciated.

A friend of mine told the person he was representing in court to go over before the trial started and have a go verbally at the opposition's legal representative which he did. This resulted in the oppositions barrister being really aggressive in court which didn't go down well with the judge and worked in their favour as they played the innocent clam and level headed card

[pendlelancashire]

*Excellent educational ensemble. Very useful information. Thank you for your video contributions and support.*

[phrsmith]

The worst thing in criminal court processes is plea bargaining this is nothing short of blackmail and many especially those who have never been in trouble or in a court plead guilty even if they are not because they are afraid. To those who would say I would never plead guilty to something I didn't do but if the offer is a slap on the wrist and go home or risk getting a 2 year jail sentence .. plenty of innocent people in jail

I once had a debt collection agency send me a demand. I believed I'd paid the debt in full. I pointed out that I'd not been contacted by the original company at all, nor were they in the habit of sending receipts or statements. I asked for their version of events. Everything went quiet

A year or so later, different DCA contacted me, same alleged debt. I basically said the same but included a copy of the letter I'd sent to the previous DCA and asked them to explain that also. That seemed to kill the claim and my credit seems good today.

[johnmckenzie]

Thank you, I needed this today to help me remain calm, as my regional Home Improvement Agency seems to be backing me into a corner over the provable fact that they and the comtractors they awarded the job, seem to making a complete mess of my £30k + Disabled Facilities Grant, only one more week and I can pass it onto the county council, thank goodness...it's been 3 months so far for a sheduled 2 weeks job. "Sigh" keep this channel going!

[darrensharpe]

I had an invalid claim made against me, but as the claim wasn't being sent directly to my address but rather my mum's address, I didn't respond and let the court's play out their procedures and start sending bailiffs and bailiff letters to my mum's home, then once they did and I was satisfied I'd given them a good enough run around, I hit them with the facts of the case and showed that it was completely invalid, and also made it clear I hold the court liable for my and my disabled mother's harassment, and the court dropped the claim the same day.

I win the only way you really can win, and that is outside of court.

[youubik]

No .2 Never make things up in court. Yes, leave that to the barrister, that's what he's / she's paid for.

[jessicarabbit]

Other reasons:
1. The jury dont like you
2. The police lie
3. The judge doesn't like you
4. You're not a Mason
The judge will state to the jury to NOT take emotional decisions. Same as he/she will say he's not making a decision on emotions. This means you're inhumane, impossible to do.

[chriscjjones]

All of this is to me just common sense, people do take things personally and do get emotional about it but it's always better in any situation never to allow personal emotion to be involved. The old saying, which I know you know all too well because of your martial arts training too, "once you loose your temper or get angry/emotional you have already lost the fight"

[wdanowel]

That was awesome advice, I didn`t know at least 3 of those. Thank you. Does anyone know in what time frame the County court have to direct your case? They keep loosing my papers for months now. Don`t know what to do.

[frankierzucekjr]

Thank you for explaining this. Well said

[kimballentyne]

Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom. What is a Part 8 matter? Please elaborate. Thank you.

[teddybear]

[thesunreport]

Thanks for all your efforts to help us Dan. 🙂

[matthewking]

I self rep'ed in High Court on a IN10 charge and won.

[Andrew-rcvh]

I got angry with HMRC on the phone. They took it in evidence but later withdrew it. This was after I had explained in evidence how contemptuous they were towards my reasonable questions, the main one was why have you done this. If you do not know put me through to someone who can answer a simple question, one of you must know why you have done it and then it is: I'm getting very annoyed with you wasting my time and treating me as an idiot, why have you done it... You see they made a recording of the calls but failed to say to the judge what exactly was said, ho hum. They could not have produced that evidence without making the judge very angry with them too. I won.
