A disabled litigant in person. Six court cases. Two years. Zero favourable decisions. This is the story in 60 seconds.
Michael Darius Eastwood ran a music industry business generating over £600,000 per year. His landlord locked him out of his office six times without warning. His property was sold to a competitor for £1,100. Five staff resigned. Revenue collapsed by 77%. He filed claims in the High Court.
The defendants have not filed a defence in the main claim for over 540 days. Their other Defence admits the lockouts, admits no adjustments were made, and admits business disruption was caused. Under the rules, default judgment should be automatic.
Instead, the court made 29 consecutive decisions against him. It imposed £34,528 in costs during his mental health crisis. It issued a restraint order 7 days after he complained about the judge. It withheld transcripts for over 200 days. It issued an arrest warrant from a court without jurisdiction. It ignored 16 emails. It refused every adjustment for his ADHD and autism.
He built this.
A public evidence portal with over 300 files. Every claim hyperlinked to evidence. Every order linked to the CPR rule it violated. A constitutional AI that analyses the case blind (party names stripped). SHA-256 document integrity hashes. A self-diagnostic health report. A judicial briefing note. An evidence network diagram. And this page, which tells you the whole story in 60 seconds.
No law firm built this. No legal technology company built this. A disabled litigant in person built this with AI in one day. Because the system left him no choice.
“I am not asking the Court to accept I am capable because I say so, but because of what I have actually had to build and do just to be taken seriously.”
