    Vexatious Litigants

    Who said the practice of law was dull:
    In his application this morning, Mr Covey took the course of stripping off his clothes and throwing water at one member of the court. He has subsequently made oral submissions to the court after giving an undertaking to behave. He has not repeated his misconduct. He has made submissions which have no relevance whatsoever to the issues before the court. However, someone has prepared on his behalf (or he has prepared himself) a detailed skeleton argument which the court has read.

    Mr Justice Cocklecarrot not presiding: VEXATIOUS LITIGANT - ATTORNEY GENERAL v COVEY (COURT OF APPEAL)

    "13. Mr Covey's submissions to this court this morning make it only too understandable why Lord Justice Buxton felt it necessary to make those remarks.

    14. THE APPLICANT: Get me a jury and see what they say.

    15. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE: His submissions so far as fact was concerned rest upon an assertion of no relevant evidence having been filed.

    16. THE APPLICANT: A load of bollocks. "

      A friend of mine once released a few rats in court. Hard to tell them from the lawyers though.

          Shouldn't this be tagged on to the end of the Kittycat thread?

          I wondered when s/he would get their day in court
