    I have a case whereby a Solicitor died leaving a suspicious and defective Will naming an employee Solicitor as Executor and attempting to leave 50% of the Solicitors business to the employee but the Company is named wrongly in the Will. The employee applies to Court for permission to transfer the shares to herself before Grant of Probate claiming that there is no defect in the Will. The Judge makes the Order on the Solicitor's undertaking that she will get all necessary information to get Grant of Probate as soon as possible. 6 weeks later the Partner of the deceased put a Caveat at the Probate Registry and informed the SRA that the Solicitor has misappropriated an SRA regulated solicitors practice by misleading the Court. Over the next 8 weeks enquiries reveal that the Will may be fraudulant. However the Solicitor is now Directing the SRA Solicitors practice and has done nothing about the Caveat. The Solicitors representatives have threatened aggressive litigation and cost orders in response to suggestions that the Will is fraudulant. Could this be a case for Committal proceedings considering the Solicitor's undertaking 14 weeks ago to get all information for Grant of Probate as soon as possible?

      It's how any human acquired ownership of land, they just took it. If someone owns a piece of land and allows it to become an eyesore for years on end then why shouldn't it be given to someone that can look after it. Who had the authority over any other human being to take it in the first place? First come, first serve, and if you abandon it, then it's your own fault, you obviously don't need it, simple stuff

    I have a question if someone can answer it...I recently bought a house but I do not own the front garden only the building and back garden, the previous owner built a fence around the front garden and looked after the property for well over 10years...since then the local authority (the registered owner) hasn't had any interaction with this property since. they don't cut the grass and have not been on the land since the original sale so my question is can I apply for adverse possession to claim the front garden as my own now that I have bought the house or do I need to wait the 10 years in order to apply for possession

    Thank you for this video. How does this work in small claims when, for example, the Defendant's solicitors file late witnesses statements (on the day of the final hearing)? Would the judge think that an adjournment goes against the Denton test and CPR 3.9 etc if there is no good reason for the late service and the Defendant had already had an extension of time to get them in before the hearing date? Can the Claimant (unrepresented) ask for the statements to be inadmissible?

    Thank you St John’s Chambers. I’ve often wondered if people flying the ‘Maltese’ cross have a heart or if they are cold and distant as those connected with power so often are. Someone who’s been abused has multiple disabilities is a vulnerable adult and is currently living homeless it’s sort of brings me some comfort that there might be a possible future for me in this world, it’s not nice when the authorities help your abuser to make you homeless and steal your life‘s possessions with zero consequence, and consequently view you as disposable. As someone who likes to abide by the law but has noticed that those at the top seldom do with little if any consequence, it’s nice to at least know what it is!

      Well of course the system is bent don’t be so silly what made you think it wasn’t??? At the end of the day the laws are there to support the people who decide them not the people they apply to. Why would the laws do anything but? Just because the people making them virtue signal about justice and wear fancy robes and talk with an upper crust accent doesn’t make them any less criminal or fair. it’s just fancy wording that gives the impression of Thanos there is no such thing in law, everyone knows that! Why do you think the British rebellions existed, why do you think the dispossessed try to find loopholes? If I want Allodial (actual ownership) title fundamentally the only way for me to do that is to defend my land from both the police and the Crown which means the military if I can do that and I stick a flag on it it’s mine and they can bugger of… That’s how it works, all the laws are fundamentally enforced by the use of threats of violence and force. So it’s the biggest bully on the block wins and it always has been- Were you under the illusion that wasn’t the case? Fundamentally the system always supports power not poverty always it will always find a way to harm the dispossessed. Millions and millions of pounds on spent in the UK every day by NGOs which are essentially linked to government in order to maintain homelessness not solve it but maintain it it’s a necessary part of society to have a human disposal shoot to get rid of the human garbage or anyone who doesn’t fall into line with the system fundamentally it’s a form of social acceptable eugenics. This ugly treat is kept away from the beautiful people such as the man in the video and those who are protected and paid for by the system I have nothing against them but if they could see the reality I think their brains would explode. Since these people more than anybody seem to think that there is such a thing as justice and law they have no idea that it’s all predicated on lies and at the bottom those lies become incredibly clear and blatant for all to see- Fortunately such individuals remain and would never wish to be exposed to such harsh realities if any of them want to come and spend a day with me with a video camera we could make a lovely documentary about how this country is full of corruption but none of them would be interested. These people are kept safe from the harsh reality that they are helping to create because they never see the end results of it.

See S 51 SCA 1981, CPR r 7.2, r 44.2 & 44.3 etc. In Citation Plc v Ellis Whittam Ltd [2012] EWHC 64 (QB) the High Court said if no claim is ever issued then there are no proceedings and so there are no costs of and incidental to proceedings which can be recovered.
