What point is Mostyn making? The husband was clearly the type who could have afforded lawyers, had he wanted to. He chose not to, perhaps because he knew the lawyers would rein him in, and behaved in an offensive fashion. The answer to that is to penalise him in costs and deal with him for contempt in the face of the court. The case appears to have no connection with problems caused by those people who mess things up in court because they can't afford lawyers.
