I attended a small claims hearing and I was extremely anxious. I also suffer from ADHD with exasperates the anxiety by x10. Anyway I told the court usher about my adhd and asked for it to be passed onto the judge for his info (also so that if he does not know what adhd is, he can google it). Anyway after about 3 hours of waiting, I finally went in. I was trembling with the stress of waiting all that time! Anyway, I asked the judge if we could speak alone for a moment, as I wanted to discuss a private matter (I wanted to explain my ADHD had turned me into a quivering wreck and why that was, so that he could account for it). To this the judge refused to speak to me and then blasted me for wasting the court's time! He said I should say openly in the room what my personal issue was! I am registered disabled because of my mental health and I could not believe the way the judge was treating me. I did not feel it appropriate to explain my disability in front of the other prty- which is my right! As a result, I was unable to articulate my case and I lost ( almost £4k).
Does anyone know what I can do and if it is worth appealing based on the judge discriminating against me based on my disability/ adhd?
