| Must a litigant in person seek the permission of a judge or district judge before disclosing the case papers to his McKenzie friend? |
| I have a sister McKenzie, half-sister Kathy, stepsister Heather and stepbrother Bret. |
| The guileless McKenzie is of course immune, as he blunders through a palsied old world. |
| Provided that the McKenzie friend acts with restraint, he is often a useful assistant to the conduct of litigation. |
| In due course, counsel brokered an agreement to permit the sale of the Major McKenzie lands to proceed. |
| The second issue, your Honour, is as to whether he is properly a person who may assist the Court either by way of McKenzie friend or amicus. |
