I've just come home after filing papers to have this solicitor excluded from this Court of Protection business. The papers used were a COP-9 utility form supported by a COP-24 witness statement form. The MP of the day was Labour's Jeremy Corbyn campaigning in his constituency. And No I didn't recognise him at first either.
Obviously I don't want to disclose the exact details of the application to the solicitor until it becomes necessary. However I will say that I have used the conflict of interest argument. That is to say because the solicitor has a (IMHO intense) personal interest in the proceedings it would be improper of him to act on behalf of another party in the proceeding.
As this is a well established legal argument and the purpose of the court is to protect vulnerable people from this type of sharp practice I would be absolutely astounded if the application is not granted.
While I remember once the politicans have finished having their fun remind me to tell you the story of Croydon's Queens Hospital. It's not at all important and not really hugely relevent. It it though rather funny so remind me.
