Regarding the names on the court petition.

I warned several pages back, when someone queried why the name on the original petition was not Unite, that this was to prevent them being liable for costs if the court finds in BA's favour.

Be very careful about putting your name to this petition because you could lose your house and other possessions if it goes the wrong way.

The court may have required more names on the petition before allowing it to proceed so that BA have a chance of recouping their costs if they win.

I have seen this done in a court case, the other party had to prove that they would be able to meet my costs if they lost.

They were eventually thrown out as vexatious, so the matter did not proceed.

I do have a lien on their estate when they die though.
