Stayed by Master Kaye on 27.02.2025 (during MHCM) before service effected.

Grounds (10)

G-A1
MHCM Statutory Nullity
10 orders made during the Mental Health Crisis Moratorium (28 Dec 2024 to 16 Apr 2025) are void ab initio under Regulation 7(12) DSRR 2020. Each order is void not merely because of when it was made but because of what it contains and what it does. The DDJ Wood order (6 January 2025, MHCM Day 9) fraudulently inserted costs "forthwith GBP 22,528" (enforcement), an unless strike-out (conditional enforcement), and a retrospective extension validating the late Defence. The Master Kaye costs stay (6 February 2025, MHCM Day 40) conditioned the proceedings on payment of void costs (enforcement of debt). Every order that depends on or follows from the 6 February costs stay is also void as a derivative nullity. The LCRO (27 February 2025, MHCM Day 61) restricts the debtor's access to the court (enforcement). The TWM certifications are enforcement acts. The statutory prohibition is mandatory and admits no discretion.
LOCKED
G-A9
Default Judgment Entitlement
R1 (Chelsea Harbour) 540+ days in default. No Defence filed. N227 request and N244 application both undetermined. R2/R3 (LRP/Vista) Defence filed 27 days late in a court without jurisdiction (the County Court, following the void transfer of BL-2024-001166), without CPR 3.9 relief or Denton analysis. The court granted substantive relief to defaulting defendants without first determining the anterior Part 12 / Part 23 issue.
LOCKED
G-A11
EA 2010 Discrimination
Systematic discrimination arising from disability (s.15), failure to make reasonable adjustments (s.20), discrimination in provision of services (s.29), and breach of Public Sector Equality Duty (s.149) across all proceedings.
LOCKED
G-A12
Reasonable Adjustments Denied (0/12)
12 reasonable adjustment requests across all courts; 0 granted. 100% refusal rate. No evidence of any PD 1A consideration at any hearing. Rolls Building disability framework conceived around physical access only; neurodivergent conditions invisible.
LOCKED
G-A13
Procedural Unfairness (Cumulative)
The totality of irregularities (29:0 adverse ratio, MHCM void orders, PD 1A denial, complaint weaponisation, TWM clustering, transcript denial) renders the proceedings fundamentally unfair under Article 6 ECHR.
LOCKED
JR-7
29:0 Adverse Decision Ratio
28 consecutive adverse decisions (21 judicial + 7 institutional) against a disabled LiP with defendants in default. Probability of occurring by chance: 1 in 536,870,912. No rational decision-making process could produce this outcome.
LOCKED
JR-19
0/12 Reasonable Adjustments (100% Refusal)
12 formal RA requests across all courts. Not a single one granted. Rolls Building disability framework conceived for physical disabilities. Neurodivergent conditions do not exist in their documentation. No PD 1A reference anywhere.
LOCKED
JR-20
No PSED Consideration Evidenced
Section 149 EA 2010 imposes a duty to have due regard. No evidence of any PSED consideration at any hearing, in any order, or in any correspondence. The duty is proactive, not reactive.
LOCKED
OV-1
29:0 Adverse Decision Ratio
Supports both bias (appeal) and irrationality (JR). 28 consecutive adverse outcomes. P < 1 in 536,870,912.
LOCKED
G-A22
Strict Liability Conversion (Kuwait Airways)
Chelsea Harbour sold property belonging to Michael personally and Mastermind Group Ltd for GBP 1,100 to Barrington Marketing Limited. Mastermind Promotion Ltd held the lease but is dormant with zero property rights. No itemised list provided. Sale after cease and desist letter. Strict liability conversion: Kuwait Airways v Iraqi Airways [2002] 2 AC 883. Only quantum remains. Causes of action assigned to Michael in April 2024 (pre-liquidation). Steven Ross WS admits disposal.
