Legal/Key Quotes

In Their Own Words

10 quotes from judges, defence documents, and correspondence. Every word is sourced. Every source is verifiable.

Judicial Statements

“Had you had counsel maybe you would have won.”
Recorder Cohen KC · 19 August 2025 · Summary judgment hearing, BL-2024-001166 (former County Court ref L10CL352)

The judge acknowledged the disability caused the outcome, then ruled against the Claimant anyway. This is the definition of substantial disadvantage under EA 2010 s.20(3).

“You cannot waive your right to forfeit following a lease.”
Master Kaye · 6 February 2025 · Stay hearing, BL-2024-001089

Legally incorrect. Post-breach conduct treating the lease as continuing constitutes waiver of forfeiture. Matthews v Smallwood [1910] 1 Ch 777; Billson v Residential Apartments [1992] 1 AC 494.

“My daughter has ADHD. They always leave everything to the very last minute.”
Master Kaye · 6 February 2025 · During hearing, disclosed personal information

The judge disclosed personal understanding of ADHD, acknowledged its effects on time management, then imposed a 4-working-day deadline and refused all reasonable adjustments.

Defence Admissions (Under Oath)

“It is admitted that adjustments were not made for him.”
Defence of R2/R3 (Shoosmiths LLP) · 24 October 2024 · Signed Defence, paragraph 17.4

Explicit admission of Equality Act 2010 s.20 breach under Statement of Truth. Irrevocable without court permission (CPR 14.1(5)). No application to withdraw has been made.

“It is admitted that this (and subsequent lockouts) were effected without prior notice to the Claimant.”
Defence of R2/R3 (Shoosmiths LLP) · 24 October 2024 · Signed Defence, paragraph 10.5.2

Six lockouts without warning admitted under oath. Establishes course of conduct for harassment (PHA 1997 s.1) and breach of quiet enjoyment.

“It is admitted that the lockouts and/or the fee increase could have caused some business disruption to Mastermind.”
Defence of R2/R3 (Shoosmiths LLP) · 24 October 2024 · Signed Defence, paragraph 20.3

Causation conceded. Revenue collapsed from £624,568 to £140,327 (77%). Five staff resigned. The "some business disruption" was total commercial destruction.

“The chattels were not removed, and they have accordingly been sold to the new occupant for £1,100.”
Steven Ross (Chelsea Harbour witness) · 4 June 2024 · Witness statement, paragraph 11

Admission of conversion under oath. Property worth £50,000+ sold for £1,100 to a competitor after a cease-and-desist letter. Strict liability under Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977.

WhatsApp Evidence

“Michael been calling you daily and no answer - this is also rude. Your office will be cleared tomorrow.”
Silvia (Chelsea Harbour) · 30 January 2024 · WhatsApp message

One day notice to clear property. No s.146 notice served. No formal termination by post as required by contract. This is not peaceable re-entry.

Institutional Conduct

“Mr Darius”
CLCC Transcript Office · 18 September 2025 · Transcript request returned
