Setting up 18 studios, Long Eaton, Nottingham

Sometimes the case really gets to me. The trigger can be unexpected. This time it was a recent case Jem had picked up on the web – Haydon v Charlton which went before the High Court of Justice in Dec 2010. Diane Charlton represented herself and the other side were professionally represented. What struck a chord was the behaviour of the legal profession. The unanswered letters, the paperwork handed to us on the day of the hearing by HFC solicitor – not just once but at all three hearings. I don’t expect the solicitor on the other side to ‘mother’ us through the proceedings but it feels like our inexperience is being exploited. Whatever the verdict, the process of justice is painful.
