A notable moment: Heath's KC suggested that Hayden apply to the Advocate pro bono scheme for professional legal help. The Master agreed it “would be good” if he were accepted. That says a lot about the state of the pleadings.
Haha that'll hurt. The judge said to the man who identifies as a lawyer that he's incompetent and lacks the professional skills to bring a proper claim.
For those wondering how the hearing in Hayden v Heath went this morning, whilst there needs to be some amendments to correct technical deficiencies with the pleadings, the claim survives in full. Treat any reports to the contrary with caution
The claim survives in full on a technicality that the judge has told him to stop pissing about and make an actual legal claim rather than one that's complete nonsense.
The point that the 'harassment' detailed is below the threshold required is pretty damning because ultimately Hayden can't magic up stuff that hasn't happened even if the claim is rewritten. The judge will see right through it.
It makes me wonder though at this point there's a significant issue - the judge is saying this claim is utter nonsense and no reflection of the law and it's deeply unprofessional. It makes me wonder if groundwork here is being made for the ability to ban Hayden from harassing others through court. The grounds could easily be made here that Hayden can only bring future claims if they are properly represented by a professional because at present he's using process as punishment. The fact that if this goes against Hayden, Hayden is liable for costs is significant too. No one is likely to take on a case of they know Hayden can't pay. The only route then is likely to be crowd funding as an individual or to lean in on the GLP.
The fact Lynsey is having a meltdown and effectively now looking to go after the judge is amusing. I am fairly sure that's only going to strengthen the case that these pair are using the law against law abiding citizens in a vexatious manner. Which goes back to my previous point about a possible imminent scenario where they get limited on what they are allowed to bring to court and how.
So far I'd definitely be looking at what happened as a significant blow to Hayden and honestly I think it's about more than just that the claim is bollocks.
