A defendant turned away from a UK court for wearing shorts stunned magistrates by strolling back for his hearing dressed in a blouse and skirt, the Daily Mail reported.
David Jeffries-Tipton, 47, was told by ushers at Cannock Magistrates Court his summer attire of shorts and a vest top were not appropriate clothing and was turned away from the building.
But disgruntled Mr Jeffries-Tipton, who was due to face magistrates for a minor criminal damage charge, reappeared at court soon after in a red floral skirt and light-coloured silk blouse bought from a charity shop.
His case went ahead as normal.
Mr Jeffries-Tipton had been due before magistrates on a criminal damage charge after admitting urinating on his ex-girlfriend's £48 dog basket.
