How can the individual ask the court to consider information about their mental health conditions?
I am facing bankruptcy proceedings and am contesting, but having to self-represent due to the fact that I have no spare fund. I am a victim of DV, and the proceedings relate to unpaid fees which I was told by my ex-husband were being paid by him, when actually, they weren't at all. I cannot get Legal Aid as this is a Bankruptcy case. I applied to have the application set aside, but whilst the Judge was sympathetic, he said that there were no legal grounds to set it aside. A petition has been issued, and I have lodged that I wish to contest the application. However, in addition to the DV, I suffer from serious mental health conditions including Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Depression and Anxiety. I am under a psychiatrist and taking very strong medication for these conditions. I have been open and honest with the other side's solicitors throughout and have explained multiple times that I have no assets and suffer from these illnesses, but they are going ahead regardless. I have obtained a completed Debt and Mental Health Form from my GP, plus a supporting letter. My question is, how do I ask the Court to consider this information? Do I need to complete a specified form? Can I just send it in with a covering letter? Do I need to supply copies to the other side? I truly am in the dark with this one, and any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you :)
