Very good write-up by Brian here. Especially the bit where he mentions the "Establishment". He's absolutely right - the super-rich do as they please, and the law is designed not to help the ordinary citizen, but to make his/her life harder. And Brian is not exactly an ordinary citizen, yet even his life was made very hard in his quest for finding some peace and quiet in his own home. So what hope does the average man in the street, seeking any kind of redress, have?

The bit about the "proportionality rule" is also spot-on.

Court is all about who argues best, not who's right. It's basically a glorified high school debating team with a payroll.

But nobody wants to hear a rock star speak the truth, because all they're qualified to do is play music, right?

Excellent and articulate piece from Brian, as always. And frustrating that big money wins yet another battle with no fair and just solution in sight. Not many people have 140,000 quid to eat up legal fees.
