Struck out case back again - I am at the end of my tether

Seems there are a lot of cases where a (legally) unqualified person (i.e. a lay person) Defendant is better prepared that the professional legal representative of the Claimant. One would hope that this would put the judge in a particular frame of mind to side more with the Defendant.

Most of the advocacy shops are a broad church. There can be some quite experienced people, often hamstrung by the material they're given. 

Others have either failed to get an alternate role or are so freshly qualified that there is little discernible difference from a well researched litigant in person who only has to learn their case on detail.

The system has to change. No-one became an advocate (or judge) to deal with spurious bulk parking ticket claims.

Yes: almost invariably thanks to this forum, no?!  Never had dealings with the shysters featuring on here but may I thank all regulars again for their sterling work.  Humdinger
