Dear IAAL,
I hope you do not mind my replying Just this once more Just to confirm my illness which is I have a main blocked artery ( it's okay I have two more ) and I have had one Heart attack but suffer from Angina badly and stress has put me into hospital twice . Would you think that is enough reason for the soliciter to accept I cannot go to court .My Doctor has offered to write this and he does believe I would be at risk to attend but would the solicter . IAAL it was almost worth this awful trouble to have met and read your pages . Please give all my regards to your wife and say I think she is so lucky to have you . There must never be a dull moment and I mean that with sincerity I think you are the tops . Thank you with all my heart for being you . Jean <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
Aw, I am putty in your hands. I'd do anything for you Jean. Here's my artery . . .
Anyway, the Solicitor has no choice in the matter. Doctor's orders and an explanation of what the stress could do to you ALWAYS trumps a Solicitor, Attorney, and even a Court.
If your testimony is that important, the Solicitor can come to your home, with your doctor and a nurse present, and pay for your doctor's and nurse's time, and then take your testimony under Oath. Perhaps, it might be a good idea to have your doctor spell that out in his Declaration, also.
Absent those conditions, the Solicitor has no choice. Serious medical infirmities NEVER take a back seat to the otherwise important nature of a court proceeding.
It's nice to have made a friend "across the pond". I've told my wife about you, and that you're my new girlfriend. Like your Subpoena, Mrs. Liable will just have to take a back seat to my new heartthob, Jean. Perhaps, one day, you and I can meet halfway - - is there an island in the Atlantic? We can dance into the Sunset. How's that?
Please, keep me informed about yourself, and the court matter as it progresses. I'd like to know.
All my best to you Jean, and good luck to you.
IAAL
P.S. I normally answer questions on the Family Law Board. So, you can always get my attention there.
