At least you do get the odd latin phrase thrown in, when you

Anyone know what the twerp is talking about?
Man spends £30,000 fighting £100 speeding fine
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...ester-49641063
Please note: fine £100 Barristers Fees £21,000 Court Fees £8,000
So that basically this chap ended up paying this barrister £21,000
for the privilege of being told it would be well worth his while
paying him, the barrister £21,000 and £8000 in Court fees simply
in order to avoid a £100 speeding fine.
And not only that but much of this took place in a Magistrates Court.
Where they're more used to people representing themselves and so
may well have made allowances, and where your £21,000 barrister won't
even be allowed to wear his or her wig or gown.
Ultra vires is an extremely important legal principle, like
habeas corpus.
It is the one case in which the law can say 'act as though
legally that has never happened'
Indeed. Wikipedia is a really great idea isn't it ?
It allows clueless people to convince even more clueless
people that they actually know what they're talking about.
More especially if, as I say, latin phrases are involved,
Since I fought a case on whiuch that issue was pertinent Michael,it is
more than just a latin phrase.
Your egotism exceeds your ignorance.
