Am aircraft must have an airworthiness certificate before it can carry passengers.

Shouldn't a court have a lexworthiness certification before it is permitted to try a case?

Martin Geddes thinks so, and has been documenting his experiences to illustrate the point.

But a certificate simply asserts that a set of tests has been devised and the aircraft tested against them.

So for a court to be tested we need a recognised set of standard tests that can be applied before he court can be considered lexworthy. And those tests must be based on a set of recognised standards of operation, standards that recognise both the possible flaws and the recognised defences against them.

"The difficulty deepens because law does not merely describe an independently existing world. It can also create authoritative legal states"

The Courts and Tribunals Bill has passed the Commons and now goes to the Lords. From there it will be a short skip to Royal Assent.

Whilst the way in which the Bill is constructed doesn't facilitate our (or more to the point, our MP's) understanding, a glance through the headings shows that the general purpose is to give judges and magistrates more powers whilst limiting the rights of the accused.

"Whilst Trial.by Jury is in place, if a right-minded citizen wishes to stand against a piece of legislation and not comply on principled grounds because he knows that that legislation works against moral right and reason, at least you could rely on your fellow citizens to protect you"

But of course in the minds of Parliament it is more important to streamline delivery of a verdict than to secure the accused's constitutional right to

The police are (as always) the people who have to sweep up when other people foul up.

And when the Ministry of Justice fouls up, they find themselves at odds with the system.

When they start to complain, maybe matters are on the turn...

And who can blame them? Joined-up government is now a very bad joke.

One might be forgiven for asking a number of pertinent questions about this civil lawsuit, such as why it's a civil suit and not a criminal prosecution?

Perhaps the clue is in here somewhere:

"Plaintiff brings this action exclusively under the laws of the State of Florida... Plaintiff only brings claims as the head of the Department of Legal Affairs under FDUTPA"

Still, it's a step forward rather than backward, and as the burden of proof is a little lower in a civil court it may have more chance of success?

Martin Geddes has made a name for himself by analysing the ways in which the official legal process can go awry, somehow often to a plaintiff's detriment.

"All are equal before the law, but some are more equal than others" as Squealer might have noted in Animal farm had he had to go to Court for a Court Order before despatching old faithful Boxer to the knacker's yard for the tender retirement care of the "Liverplod Care Pathway"...

Complete with an appropriately quaint and perhaps unfamiliar relic of English law upon which the case should perhaps have been judged, this case is of interest because it pitched an individual citizen against a large corporate entity. The Law of course should favour neither but judge the case on its merits, according to law statute and legal precedent.

Did that happen?

Il Donaldo doesn't think so - he wants it in his hemisphere, where it is already.

Carney seems to differ - but what do central bankers know of geography, economics, and human neighbourlyness?

It's not like there is a status quo on offer - they either join Europe or join America...

Perhaps the Crown has outlived its use-by date, so maybe the outcome shouldn't be too hard to predict.

This might get messy, but could Canadians and Americans really go to war with each other?

When the USSR fell apart in the '90s, Europe was already well advanced with it's own version, the EU, dubbed by some as the EUSSR.

The primary difference being that it wasn't set up by Bolshevik revolutionaries but by stealth. A mere 6 years after the end of WW2, barely enough to stabilise the post war European continent then (and since) under effective military occupation (I personally have exercised with NATO in Germany), the European Coal and Steel Communitywas founded allegedly by Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg West Germany and Italy, but necessarily with at minimum the blessing (and more likely at the instigation of) the occupying powers.

A nice friendly community that simply wanted to cooperate together.

"No-one is safe until everyone is safe".

Which means?

"No-one is safe".

Because making everyone safe is an impossibility.

But words appeal to different people in different ways. If you have spent your earthly life in IT then you are likely to respond to the logic. In which case you may agree with the above reasoning.

If you have spent your life in a more flexible "feel good" profession such as entertainment, publishing, film-making etc then you may well have a different interpretation, regarding logic as unnecessarily limited in its ability to convey meaning.

Those that prefer to trust "the authorities" (because fundamentally they find the idea that 'authorities may be seriously untrustworthy' is a notion that they don't feel able to cope with) may appreciate the first assertion as "caring" and therefore support it in
