Gaslighting from Judges

FrankV

Today I faced an initial hearing in court with regards to a new claim against Lloyds Pharmacy for unlawful discrimination and yet again I was browbashed by a Judge who vehemently ignored the legislation under s63 of the County Court Act 1984, s15,s114 of the Equality Act where it clearly states that in Disability Discrimination claims, in any court proceedings an assessor is required and in s15 of the Equality Act it states clearly that No Comparator is required. 
The Judge was blatantly rude and subjected me to Direct Discrimination in the court, even summonsing security detail into the court room after she had triggered my anxiety levels to the point where I began to inflict self harm in the court. I even went on to explain the risks of suicide to which she promptly commented, 'What you choose to do outside of this court is none of my concern'

Because of my Mental Health Disability I pleaded with the Judge to allow me the opportunity to explain my case as best as possible, yet because our court session started late and was fast approaching the designated lunch hour of 1-2pm, the Judge pushed me to rush my explanation, even though I had pleaded for patience in the matter. 
As a result I had to remove myself from proceedings before the end because I simply could not face hearing her ridiculous waffle about why an assessor may be required and the difficulties thereof, including that a comparator would be necessary when it clearly states in s15 that NO Comparator is required in disability discrimination.

So there we go, an individual once again has to suffer at the hands of prejudice within the legal system....and as a litigant in person, what can we do? 

IF anyone can direct me towards a legal professional who has an understanding of the Equality Act 2010, I would greatly appreciate their details.

The only way this is going to stop is when more people stand together.

I'm so sorry to hear this, this is absolutely disgraceful that it was allowed to get to the point where you were so distressed. I can only help but wonder if she has so little compassion and empathy for every case? 

I don't have any advice about a legal professional unfortunately.

Additionally a good friend's wife sits as a senior magistrate and it is well known of her that she does not accept   what we would say that some people are classed as vulnerable. All are treated the same and equal.
