COURT RESULTS

Fri. 6th October:

James Carty v. Rex Bendon and Dawn Aldred - Small Claim for damage to plants

Since James wasn’t successfully killed or put into hospital in the week leading up to the hearing, the defendants had no choice but to ask for an adjournment themselves.

Apparently, Mr. Bendon was suffering from a very rare condition - “tonsilitus following a back problem”. We couldn’t really argue with the sick note, since it came from a doctor – but we were intrigued to notice the cryptic message with which it had been annotated –

“Lawrence. Is this good enough? Rex.”

The hearing has been adjourned until the 12^th December. In the meantime, we asked the judge again for directions, and the defendants have been given another month to get some evidence together. Elizabeth Arnold, Senior Solicitor for the London Borough of Camden, has given up, and Camden are now spending our council tax on a barrister - talk about a sledgehammer to crack a nut. (Not only that, but even with a barrister they failed to achieve the one direction they wanted - to replace “Rex Bendon and Dawn Aldred” with “The London Borough of Camden”). By now, they must have spent a lot more on this case than it would have cost to pay for the damage and apologise.

COUNCIL TAX PAYERS PROTEST AT THIS WASTE!!
