Does anyone know If I can act as a littigation friend in court for my partner and present the case to the court should it come to it, as she gets a little wobbely at the thought of having to go to court.

By the way a gift voucher will be on its way to you next friday when I get paid.

"well would like to make it sooner, but dont want to go overdrawn and incurr a penalty charge do I"

A litigation friend is a person who brings or defends proceedings on behalf of a child or a patient. See CPR 21 in the CPRs in the library.

You are referring to a lay representative.
The answer is yes but see the conditions for this in PD 27 (3) in the CPRs in the Library

A McKenzie friend is someone who sits behind and who may whisper advice to the litigant but does not act as an advocate.
