The Sheriff Principal, having resumed consideration of the cause, holds the appeal to be incompetent; declines to answer the question of law and adheres to the interlocutor dated 20 October 1999 complained of; finds the pursuer and appellant liable to the defenders and respondents in the expenses of the appeal and assigns Monday 10 April 2000 at 10.00 am within the Sheriff Court, 1 Carlton Place, Glasgow as a diet of assessment.
"When the sheriff enquired of me at the outset of the proof if I was familiar with the Summary Cause Rules and I responded that I was not he tutted and commented 'that is going to put you at some disadvantage then isn't?"
"The sheriff indicated that I was less likely to succeed in my claim before he had heard any evidence."
"I submit that the sheriff displayed a bias against me thereby and indicated that he did not fully accept the rights of individuals to raise such actions and be given a fair hearing without being legally represented"
"Before leaving the court the sheriff said he found me to a 'deeply unpleasant' individual. I submit that this was an unjust assessment of my character that confirmed the sheriff's animosity towards me".
