Campaigner banned from taking further legal actions against bank
Ben Gilroy also forbidden from acting as legal adviser to others
A very interesting development. It would be funny if it were not so frustrating.
“It is a feature of Mr Gilroy’s successive written and oral applications to the court that he repeatedly pursues the same arguments that have already failed, and are bound to fail again,” Mr Justice Haughton wrote.
Satanic cult
Mr Justice Haughton lays out Mr Gilroy’s previous actions before the courts, including accusing another judge of being a member of a satanic cult and issuing veiled threats to a lawyer on the opposing side.
He also quotes at length Mr Gilroy’s affidavits to the court which are littered with often irrelevant Latin phrases (at one stage Mr Gilroy threatens to privately prosecute “hostis humani generis” – enemies of mankind) as well as quotes from Thomas Jefferson.
In one passage, Mr Gilroy accuses lawyers of being members of a “semi-secretive society normally wearing wigs or black cloaks and normally believing they have some superior position above all others not part of their society”.
