Nah arrest him. That's the law

If he does not show up, just bin the case and mame him

I like where you're coming from, but it's spelled "maim."

Things like "facts".

Not sure he can do that without consequence. A quick Googling suggests that once the case has gone to discovery like this one, both sides need to agree to a dismissal and if the BBC thinks they have a strong case (which I think they probably do) they would would demand compensation. They spent a lot of resources fighting this already, after all.

Well he will probably wait for Tuesday.

You don't have to be President Pedophile to delay a deposition.

I was in an accident a few years back. The other driver came into my lane and I tried to go around him, but failed. My best guess is that he fell asleep and just drove over the double yellow line. We hit in an offset head on collision, passenger side to passenger side.

The other driver had the state mandated minimum coverage, and the accident caused about $20,000 damage to my car. My insurance sued the other driver.

It took years to get the other driver to show up for the deposition. They'd schedule it, I'd take the day off, then the other driver would cancel at the last minute.

Eventually we all got into the same law office for the deposition. My insurance's lawyer put me in a room to read over the transcript* from my statement after the accident and asked me if I had any questions. Then they stepped out to see if the other driver and his lawyer were ready.

When he came back he said they settled.

They were hoping they'd get me to not show up so they could get the case dismissed. When they finally realized that would never happen, they gave up.

I might have not been so determined, but I have generous PTO (for an American), and the other driver lied to police at the accident and said I entered his lane. Luckily (?), the accident destroyed the windshield washer reservoir in my car, so it dumped all that out at the point of impact. It also destroyed the right front tire, so the rim dug parallel furrows into the street leading from where I ended up back to where the accident happened in my lane.

* If you ever have the opportunity to read an insurance company transcript of yourself, avoid it if possible. They note every dumb "uh" and "um" you utter.

I see what you did there

Unfortunately the case is being heard in Miami, Florida.

... because under UK (English) law you can only claim damages for actual harm which is basically zero.
