Very good, post more if you find it please

Benihana · 9 Dec 2010 at 13:54

Was from 2002, had a look but it all seems to be just the one post. I think it was just a hoax made up at the time (why else would hanger theft be in a high court)

Brilliant!

Is that real?! Why wouldn't the judge threaten him with contempt of court or something?

subbytna · 9 Dec 2010 at 15:57

urban myth

good read none the less...this has done the rounds a few years ago...

Great stuff.

Miles Kington was a very humorous columnist.

Dewotter · 9 Dec 2010 at 16:34

Haha that was pretty good.

Pookie Bear · 9 Dec 2010 at 16:51

Oh haha, that was classic - I bet just about everyone in the court was wanting to burst out laughing - everyone except counsel

This, and a judge telling someone to 'shut up'?

No, that does happen. Usually after severe provocation though: the judge doesn't want a verdict overturned through Abuse of Process.
