Apparently, Mr Ashby felt that it was a defence, to a charge that his multiple abuse of staff and customers at four different pharmacies was professional misconduct, that he was just a typical Aussie loudmouth. Err, no, mate.
This case is, in the real sense of the word, a tragedy. Mr Ashby has been destroyed by a fatal flaw in his own character. He clearly believes himself to be a wonderful pharmacist and that those he was compelled to work with were, simply, his inferiors. Even if he was right, it is that belief that has lead to his downfall.
If you read this case you will find the sad conclusion:
MR ASHBY: I have no money. I cannot pay anything. I have nothing left.Mr Ashby was not a King, or even a high ranking politician, so this tragedy is not properly to be described as Shakesperian, but it has the essential elements of such tragedy; just on a smaller, perhaps more human, scale.
MRS JUSTICE DOBBS: That does not stop the court from making a costs order, but you say you have got no means?
MR ASHBY: No. I have nothing left.
MRS JUSTICE DOBBS: Anything else you want to add in relation to that?
MR ASHBY: No.
MRS JUSTICE DOBBS: There will be an order that the appellant pay the respondent's costs in the sum of £14,482.82.
MR BRADLEY: I am grateful.

Why you having a dig at a good bloke who's just down on his luck?
He was an average good Chemist having to deal with very low standards met in the majority of UK Pharmacies.
Edwin did a few of the same shops I did as a UK Chemist and encountered the same appalling misconducts on the premises, very rarely sorted out by anybody. He did shops, as a Locum, in the four UK corners. He was never let a chance to speak out his honest words. That got him angry. He made an error and that is what hypocrits wanted. He should not be looked down at. Actually a man for whom a lot of respect must be shown.
