Self-representation is frowned upon, "a person with themselves for a client has a fool for a client." But, where in the UK system is it disallowed, unless you are a repeated, "freeman of the land" nonsense spouter?

Off the top of my head: depending on the jurisdiction there are several important legal documents that you are disalllowed from filing yourself and the judge is allowed to reject you with or without reason

Doesn't the comment I am responding to set the jurisdiction as the UK. Can you name any applications you can't make yourself.
