Current Problem

Bates and Others v The Post Office [2017] EWHC QB 2844, [2018] EWHC QB 2698, [2019] EWHC QB 606, [2019] EWHC QB 2871, [2019] EWHC QB 1373, [2019] EWHC QB 3408.
The legal case was successful resulting in a settlement of £57.75 million. However of the £57.75 million ONLY 12 Million became eligible for the individual claimants. In turn that lead to £20,000 payments to claimants rather than £90,000 per claimant. A reduction of £70K per claimant. Further the taxpayer had to foot the bill[ GLO].

Equality of Arms is meant to mean " equal war chests to fund litigation”. In multiple instances this unfortunately does not occur. Depending on the type of claimants there is a typically a large gap between the funding parties:
Ad Hoc Group of Borrowers v. Celsius Network LLC [ Adversarial proceeding between a set of normal individuals and White & Case the Billion dollar law firm]

Ad Hoc Group of Custodial Account Holders v. Celsius Network LLC et al

Access to Justice has become a lot more difficult for individuals.

Take the following proposition:

• Individual A loses out of 1000’s of USD{through the bankruptcy of a third party}

• Individual A tries to interface with:

  • The Police

  • The bankruptcy estate

  • The regulators

  • Lawfirms

  • Distressed Investors

  • The Media[Legacy and otherwise]

  • The US trustee

  Individual A is still struggling to get their money back as of 2025.
