I thank you for your interest Arthur Michael Robinson. I did not win my case. All of the claims which had remained constant in the Defence and Counterclaim document for 5 years were replaced by conflicting verbal claims which were accepted by judge Arthur Hutchinson.

Amazingly, he accepted the evidence of a 'surprise witness' by the name of Wilfred Lee, a man I had never met in my life, and who had not made a statement of what his evidence was to be, who claimed to have been present in a pub 5 years earlier when he had overheard me tell my rogue client that I would do the works at no cost to him!!!

I ended my cross examination of his liar when he blurted out, "Look, I don't want involving in all of this. I've just come along to be a character witness!!!"

I was satisfied that I had done all that I needed to do.

This liar had remembered his briefing okay and that it was the Travellers Rest pub in which he was supposed to have overheard the conversation.

However, at that time there were 2 pubs of the same name in Bradford miles apart from each other and the address which he gave was neither one or the other!!!

He could remember the name of the pub but not its location!!!

Judge Arthur Hutchinson relied heavily on the false evidence of this man and yet I was told privately by Judge John Bullimore that this kind of witness was no longer allowed in the law courts.

Too late for me though. I lost everything that I had whilst the rogue customer got everything for nothing.
