civil court and evidence

[PurplePolkadot]

In a civil court hearing, where the defendant has evidence to back up their innocence, and the judge has refused to see it, or consider it, given that the appeals system is an unlikely avenue of help due to the legal aid situation, is there anything that the defendant can do? can it be insisted on that the evidence is at least seen?

am wondering what reason if any, a judge would have for not looking at all evidence? i understand that by not doing so it counts towards reasoning for an appeal, but without funding for that things dont look good for the defendant, is this the way of our legal system now? any ideas on self representation in appeals? anyone?

You have asked questions 'around' this matter without ever detailing the substance.......it is the substance that would enable the legal-beagles on this site to assist you more fully.

You may well consider the 'evidence' to be important but the Judge would have to have a very good reason, indeed, for not looking at it if it was pertinent to the case.

You don't have to do anything other than be a little more forthcoming with the detail of your own particular case.

You'll find that there are few posts on here which directly mirror your own circumstances.
