The High Court has today made a judgment requiring Sonia Poulton to clarify further her ludicrous counterclaim against former MP John Hemming and I. It has irritatingly, refused most of my strike-out requests and awarded Sonia some (but not all of) her modest litigant in person costs but she is still around £3,000 down when first instance costs are included and she has still been ordered to clarify. Ms Poulton has now stated that she will not file evidence regarding Darren Laverty’s conduct in relation to the main claim nor rely on his conduct against us. Therefore, disclosure will not be needed. Although (very good and thorough) judge Mr Justice Linden ruled her case still met the low bar to not get struck out right away, there were sledgehammer subtle hints that she is in desperate trouble at trial, “On Mr Smith and Mr Hemmings’ case, the legal issue will not arise in any event because, even assuming that Ms Poulton is entitled to rely on all of her pleaded particulars, she will not satisfy the overarching test for harassment on the evidence”. All parties were strongly encouraged to mediate. Arguments my application was an, “abuse of process” failed although I was criticised for leaving the attempt late. Poulton still faces a separate appeal from John Hemming on the meaning of her words.
Well, thank f*ck for this post, MHN. You’ve assuaged all the concerns I had after reading her tweet on X. I swear to God I thought she’d wiped the floor with you, the way she’s been carrying on with herself on her ‘fund’ page.
Still, I suppose she has to keep bigging herself up and looking victorious, to keep the money rolling in from her flock, doesn’t she. But pride comes before a fall. As my grandmother used to say…
She’s been declaring victory for years. All she has done is get a very weak case to trial.
She’s done this sort of thing before, so she has. That is, she’s managed take a very weak case to trial. Fully assisted by some of the most dangerously bent cops in the nation, by all accounts.
And that case floundered, and got chucked out at the last minute, after she and her gang had spent four years lying to the police. As has been evidenced thoroughly throughout the posts and comments on this site. Indeed, during her more recent days spent in court, she is still lying her arse off. Which does not bode well at all, so it doesn’t. It truly doesn’t…
Because truth always comes out in the end. And from all I’ve been hearing, there’s an awful lot of that to come out about her. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth…
But truth always comes to light
What some people will do to have their name read out in court, and have their cases archived for all time, is always a worry.

Is it true Josh is working with Sonia? Inquiring minds want to know.
She says so, and she has documents from him. For the court hearing of 23 October 2024, Poulton filed a Skeleton Argument and supplementary argument, which was considered by the court. Documents in the bundle are presumed to have passed into the public domain and the bundle is referenced in her skeleton. In the skeleton argument, Poulton refers to a document I sent to Josh, and identifies him as her reference. Of course, WHY is another matter – the judge felt the ‘evidence’ irrelevant. The judge even referred to her having difficulty focusing on the relevant issues.
I may have to do a search to find out who “Josh” is. I can’t recall whether I’ve mentioned this before but her logo of herself with the banner ‘People before Profit’ and her other hand clenched makes me think a little of the old-fashioned Communist-era USSR pro-worker posters they used to post. I am left-leaning in some ways but that logo is (to me) just too much. Then as I’ve mentioned before she does seem Ms or Mrs Teflon to me in some ways.
