Sergio Graft, R (on the application of) v Willesden County Court

Facts

The claimant, a litigant in person, sought to judicially review an order of DDJ Adedeji in the Willesden County Court dated 24 July 2025, made in a clinical negligence claim he had brought against his GP practice, North End Medical Centre, the interested party. That county court claim had been struck out on 28 October 2022 under CPR 3.4(2), and the claimant's later applications to set the strike out aside had failed. On 4 August 2024 he applied for what he called "legally established assistance" at a hearing, and his judicial review claim alleged that he had sought a Belarusian interpreter and an intermediary. That application was adjourned with three others (the four applications) by an order of 4 July 2025, after the claimant attended the court building but declined to enter the courtroom. The interested party had asked for the applications to be dismissed as totally without merit and indicated an intention to seek a civil restraint order. The claimant alleged breaches of section 20 of the Equality Act 2010 and Article 6 ECHR. The interested party was never served with the claim form. On 1 July 2026 Vikram Sachdeva KC, sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge, refused permission on the papers and refused an application to amend. The claimant renewed, and also sought to challenge an order of 11 March 2026 adjourning the four applications to 29 December 2026. He attended the renewal hearing but again declined to enter court.
