It was a funny old day.
I ended up representing myself, much to the annoyance of the judge. They had to get me an interpreter to start with.
After listening to the judge pointing out that I was there to be punished I had a go at putting my case across.
The judge wanted to know "where I came up with my rubbish?"
"The EU your honour" was my reply
"What has the EU got to do with local law in Cyprus?" she barked
"Everything, if you are an EU citizen and living in an EU country" apparently was not a good reply....if looks could kill etc..
Case adjourned until next year, I presume so that they can look up EU law and not carry on with their Kangaroo style.
I had to sign a bail form for 1500 Euros.
My mate was sitting in the gallery next to another solicitor who gave him a wink and the 'thumbs up sign' ... as long as he was not trying to pull my mate for the Gayers Solicitors Convention then I take it that I might have ruffled a few feathers!
The case continues.
