Hypothetical situation: Is a LIP allowed to have another person other than a solicitor speak for them in court?

They can have a McKenzie friend with them who prompts them on what to say.

Sometimes the Judge may allow a friend or relative speak for a litigant, depends a lot on the judge, how busy the court is, how difficult it is for the litigant etc.
