When in practice, I once encountered a most-odd Civil defendant LiP who routinely appeared by a McKenzie friend, an unqualified one-time law student, who attended in lieu of the Defendant!
I opined to the DJ that "No McKenzie - no friend". The response was a model of common sense. The judge said he would make his mind up when he had heard the point. In the event, he heard the Friend-in-lieu and dismissed the application by the LiP without troubling me to respond. At least, it had the merit of reducing the areas of the inevitable Appeal.
