You're not really advancing your case much.
He may well be 'money bags Mansfield but he's self made. State School and Keele Uni. You don't get QC and Bencher in your Inn without being damn good at your job.
The Action Against 5G case was kicked out at the permission stage. It's that far below the radar there's not even a report on Bailii. Not actually frivolous/vexatious but no prospect of success.
The trouble with pro-bono is that, whilst a good thing in itself it lets the government off the hook for properly funding legal aid (not that this case would have met a merits test).
Censure from the Lord Chancellor for being a legal aid 'fat cat' should be a badge of honour. If Fayed was daft enough to pay £1.5m then so what; a transfer of money from the obscenely rich to the merely rich.
