Stainer under Restraint?
Restraint isn’t the word that comes to mind when considering the much battered and bruised Michael Stainer as he fights to retain control of the Grand. Fifteen times in the last five years, fourteen in the last two, he has gone to court with applications and appeals, and has lost every single one. He has used three barristers, two firms of solicitors and unknown hours of court time with his flat earth approach to legal reasoning. He’s even chased High Court Sheriffs off the premises, claiming that there are no moveable assets belonging to Hallam Estates, the freeholder.
This obsessive litigation might now be coming to an end. On October 27th, His Honour Judge Adam Johnson, dismissed an application from Hallam, represented by their ‘consultant’, Michael Stainer, to stave off bankruptcy. This resulted from Hallam’s failure to pay £9624 of court costs awarded to the Association of Residents in the Grand (AORG) in July 2019.
The Judge used the dreaded words;
This was the third such dismissal, the others being:
-
An application for permission to apply for Judicial Review dismissed by HH Judge Karen Walden-Smith on 27th September 2019
-
An application to restrain the presentation of a petition for the winding up of the Applicant, dismissed by Deputy ICC Judge Frith dated 21 February 2020
This is serious. Hallam Estates and Stainer have crossed the threshold of acceptable use of judicial time with meritless applications. This can then lead to them being prevented from any further applications to the Court unless they first seek and obtain permission. This is known as a Civil Restraint Order.
In a recent case before Mr Justice Zacaroli, who has rejected three applications from Hallam already, slapped just such an Extended Civil Restraint Order on an applicant. He stated:
-
“It may be easier to conclude that a party is persistently issuing claims or applications which are totally without merit if it seeks repeatedly to litigate issues which have been decided.”
Considering Mr Stainer’s court experiences , he certainly will be able to claim “ a honorary professor in law “ somewhere, even though his knowledge is totally without merit !!!
Try dishonored…….
The more I read about Mr Stainer and his sheninigans on Shepway Vox, the more I believe there is total merit in the University Of Kent, Law Department running a PhD course on the Rise & Fall of Mikey Stainer.
When one finds oneself in a hole one should stop digging!
