In response to various aspects of lockdown, businessman Simon Dolan filed a judicial review application in the Courts. Among the complaints was that the government and its ministers did not have the legal authority to close the schools as they did. The defence filed in Court was that government ministers didn’t order closures of the schools!
Ordinary citizens listening to the government message had thought that the government had forced the schools to close and was exercising its authority to do so. The defence in Court was nothing less than the government admitting its ministers had been either ignorant or duplicitous in their communications with the public.
Representation was made to the public of the existence a legal obligation that was, in truth, fictional. When ‘requests’ or unenforceable guidance are promoted by government and in mainstream media as enforceable rules of law, we are being misled.
That does not sound like a Court of Law, so...
It initially sounded like a UK issue, but by the end I wasn't sure it was a Western country issue...
A Court of Law (common law) involves judgment by the people themselves in a jury and everyone has access as accusers, prosecutors, and therefore defendants, equal footing, equal protection, which is opposite the counterfeit Kangaroo Courts like Admiralty, Equity, Exchequer, or other Summary JustUS system of plunder where the monopolists decide if they are liable for the crimes they perpetrate.
So...people "pleading" with the monopolists have obviously taken a false step by that misdirected non-choice to place oneself before the judgment of criminals.
