What does this mean

Is your witness to the comment independent? ie not a family member/friend.

Have you gone back to court. What is the court saying?

Yes it was an independent witness, my trauma psychologist.

The order was not approved by the judge but the next judge said order had to stand as I had signed it and basically said barrister was at fault and I should take it up with her.

Who asked for the clause to be included?

From what my Barrister states in response to my complaint she would have included this clause if I had not signed the Consent Order.

Another question! I had already had a full medical report done on my trauma resulting from emotional abuse which was in the bundle. She was totally aware of my problems that I cannot remain assertive under these conditions and give in due to fear. I had paid 1000k for this. Why would she want another medical done as we already had one and to put me through the horrendous ordeal of having to talk about the abuse?

Possible you would have needed another medical report to show that you were incapable of making the decision and possible that you would need someone to make the decision on your behalf. If a medical report had shown that you were capable of making decisions the other side would have been able to make claims for costs? I am only guessing on what you have said.

Your medical report would have been about your inability to work not about your ability to make legal decisions.

I was capable of making decisions I was saying no to the consent order. I did not need anyone to make the decision for me. The medical report covered all aspects of my health and it stated I was unable to work due to my maladaptive way of giving in under pressure and I had to regain the confidence that I am allowed to say no!

Sorry but dont think you can claim that you are capable of making a decision for yourself, then claim that you signed under duress, because medically you are unable to show free will in certain situations

Either you were in a fit state to agree or not.
