To my non-legal eyes, isn't (f) just restricting him from acting on behalf of others, not himself?

Robbo · 13-05-2019 10:22am

Proceedings were issued on Friday against RTE and it's listed for tomorrow morning.

that is my understanding as well. (a) to (e) are only concerned with the case against AIB. (f) is a general ban on him acting as a McKenzie friend.

So in effect the court ruled that Gilroy was taking the action for publicity and not any other altruistic reason !

Mr Justice Senan Allen said the case had no legal basis and awarded costs against Mr Gilroy.

The judge refused to hear an application by Mr Gilroy for an urgent injunction saying: "You've had your day".

The judge described him as a "seasoned litigant" with liberal knowledge but limited understanding of the law.

He said the court could not make a decision on the substantive issue but it seemed to him the approach of RTÉ in choosing candidates for the debate was sensible.

I don't get why they don't clarify and modernise his title.

Something like "Pre-trial Assistant", "Guy who checks that the spelling is right" or "Junior Clerk" should stop him getting confused with Justice Kelly.

"The court could not make such an order, as it is not known in law, and Mr Gilroy should have known that, the judge said."

I went through some videos on YouTube the other day. Mainly the Mayo contingent and their exploits in Castlebar courtroom a couple of years back, good times. Has there been any movement from the lads in recent times?

I also saw the professionally made 'The framing of Joe Doocey'. Can't link it as I'm on my phone but my god, the delusion is off the scale. Joe is still behind bars I see. They need him back in the fold I'd say.

Payment for definitely “not” legal advice

Acting as a McKenzie friend

Fighting for the right to never pay a penny that’s owed

Accusing judges of “Criminal conspiracy”

I’d swear I’d heard of identical behaviour before. Has this gent ever considered running for election? I hear there’s a European candidate he might identify with

We can safely say that from the way he wields the "hurling stick", Gilroy's GAA credentials are as bogus as his legal ones. It's already become a meme.

Poor Ben .. he’s declared that he is ‘giving up’ and concentrating on making money for his family if the exit polls run true.

He might even try make a dent in the mortgage to keep the family home now

For that last one I don't think it is her home as an alternate address in County Galway is given - the property in the case is a commercial building at 4 Prospect Hill on the edge of Eyre Square - across from TK Maxx for those who might not know the address. It is an escape room business at the moment.

Still plugging away above the middle Eastern restaurant, pivoting towards the right, finding cures for cancer on Google, berating Trump protestors and that sort of thing. Exactly the kind of posting you'd expect from a middle aged Brit expat. I wonder does Jerusalem do any gammon dishes?

Amusingly, the Hub are using the Fahy case above as a cautionary tale to "Be mindful of what you put into your affidavit".

As has been seen on this thread, their usual non-advice has been to create a monstrous affidavit full of dubious facts, assertions and misplaced legal argument so it's a bit rich.

according to ben himself

Just leaving the great city of Washington DC after a very successful week with lawyers and the securities and exchange commission, in relation to banking corruption in our country. Change is coming folks.

scanning through his comments

Ireland is now so terminally sick that vile corruption of every ilk and kind is flourishing, and this same force of corruption has become so cunning and professional, that it is wreaking untold havoc and misery upon innocent Irish people ,who are daily hauled before Irish courts on false trumped up perjured lies and charges !!!
I speak from very bitter personal experience !!!

Fairly indicative of the comments he gets, seriously chaps, go to one of your anti corruption havens to live out the rest of your days, cuba, mexico, columbia, have fun.

I reckon he believes that we are so corrupt that they might launch a humanitarian invasion towards the end of regime change.

The only real question is whether Ben & King billy can work together as supreme leader and king respectively.

of course the real question is why would they bother talking to him. I can imagine the phonecall:

Secretary: Mr Clayton, I have a Ben Gilroy from Ireland who wishes to speak to you about banking corruption in Ireland
Jay Clayton: Ben who?
