Barrymore could be handed legal papers
 

This on the 3pm news (talksport).

Michael Barrymore could be handed legal papers whilst in the house , as a private law suit is filed against the death of Stuart Lubcock.

I certainly hope this does not happen.He might be a cantankerous g## at times, but that would be a nightmare for him.

I hate all the anti barrymore press, they wont give up in trying to bring him down.

Pity about him!!! Why didn't he give evidence at the hearing all those years ago if he wanted to clear his name?? Instead he hides like a coward and comes back now thinking its all forgotten. He obviously has something to hide....Barrymore is a creep and he should have stayed in hiding in NZ..

Innocent until proven guilty, the fact he is back is showing he isnt prepared to hide for all his life is a good thing. What went on with the pool thing nobody know but who was there and the papers just want to bring him down.

Full story on ceefax page 504 :shocked:

Totally agree.

I respect him for going on BB, we all know he could have easily said no and in a way he had the right to because the press have been awful to him but hes showing his face and deserves at least a chance.

If he is guilty then yeah shoot him down lol but nothing has been proven one way or another so that is not guilty in my eyes, if he was guilty im sure he would of stayed away longer and not tried coming back.

haha sorry I know I shouldn't have laughed at the name "Lubcock"... bit rude to laugh eh??


They need to give the guy a break and stop trying to lead him to a nervous breakdown but taking him down. The pool thing is over, it happened 5 years ago they should just leave it be now

Yeah..sorry bout that not the best time to make a spelling mistake.

This is a private case brought by the family , I think.I am sure if the police wanted to question him they would have by now.

Did you make a spelling mistake in his name? Lol I thought Lubcock was his name! ahh well I think they should leave it to be honest. It happened at a party teaming with alcohol and drugs so it could have been self inflicted... or was he stabbed or something ( i didn't hear that far on the news)?

surves the man rite.

ope he cracks up in der.

****. :xyxwave:

Edited for language. Kaz

That's a bit harsh. Give the man a break

It would be disgraceful if they served him with papers while he is in the house. If he is to be served at all, at least wait until the man is out and do it privately.

nope he deserves it :spin::wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey::colour::colour: :cat::elephant::elephant::dog::dog::hello:

That's right, Ruth! Don't think he'd appreciate if the world saw him getting into more trouble again :bored:

If it's a private law suit, then there's no way that they can get access to him. They wouldn't even be allowed within the compound, but if they were, what can they do? Knock on a door that can't be opened from the inside, and ask to speak to a man that can't hear them anyway? It needs to be given to him by hand as far as I'm aware, and unless they plant someone in the crowd when he leaves the house, it's not going to happen.

They have to get it as near to him as is safely possible. Service of documents is something that we do a lot of at work. If you cannot get to the person safely - or if it clear that they are deliberately avoiding service - by not answering the door etc., then it's fair enough to post them through the letterbox, or under the door (but only after a court order has been granted allowing for service to be effected in this way). If someone is threatening the process server - not an issue in Barrymore's case I shouldn't think - the server should leave the documents as near to him as is safely possible.

I would be absolutely flabbergasted if they gave the documents to him while he was in the house. There is absolutely no need for them to do that. Many documents have to be acknowledged by the person receiving them within a certain time limit, which may prove impossible for Barrymore if he was to stay in the house.

Also, there is absolutely no need for him to be served with the papers while he was in there. They will surely know where to find him once he is out, and he can't do anything anyway until he is out. It would be a very unprofessional outfit that served him with anything while he is still in there.

And of course, as Charlotte said, I really can't see anybody being admitted into the house to give him the papers.

I hate the press full stop.
This thing with sven.
They will blame him if we dont win the world cup...when if they would keep their mouths shut we might stand a chance of winning the damn thing...and handing barrymore papers in the house is illegal...contact with the outside world.:conf:

Ruth, given that this is a private law suit, is there any way that they could seek court permission to serve the papers on him, regardless of what Channel 4 / Endemol say? I mean if they said something like they fear he'll leave the country as soon as he comes out of the house, so it's necessary because of that?

no doubt the sun will send a plane over tomorrow,

I'm not sure how it would happen.If indeedit does.Obviously we won't have someone knocking on the BB door and entering a la Saville.

I imagine if it came to the worse the producers would have to lead Barrymore to a private room to read the papers and decide upon his next plan of action.

Hopefully none of this will happen and it is a knee jerk reaction to MB appearing on BB.

Still, if they did somehow manage to serve the papers on him while he's in there, or when he's leaving the house, it won't look very good that they've essentially used a publicity stunt. And that would quite probably end up getting more attention than what happened in the first place.

Whoops - only just seen this post Charlotte. In all honesty, I can't see that happening, as he won't be able to leave the country the instant that he comes out of the house - there will doubtless be a press conference and interview etc., etc. So there's little danger of them not being able to get hold of him. But if he did go back to New Zealand immediately, they could even get a process server over there to serve the papers on him.

They could seek court permission, but I really don't think they would get it - particularly not if Ch4 / Endemol could show them that he would not be in a position to leave the country as soon as he left the house.

That's true also. It would look very poor and unprofessional and would probably garner sympathy for Michael, which is the last thing that the people who want to take him to court would want.

No body quite understands...that michael has himself a lot of fans...i think opening night told everyone in the world that.
And i hope he comes back to our TV sets with his own gameshow or something like that.:thumbs:
