Structure for a Common Law Court Hearing
4
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:22,650
You will need
5
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:23,470
1.
6
00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:28,240
You - The Plaintiff versus The Defender or defenders
7
00:00:28,610 --> 00:00:31,150
who is an individual or individuals.
8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,570
The necessary Court Officers
9
00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:36,470
This requires a minimum of 17 people:
10
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:38,140
An adjudicator
11
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:39,199
A sheriff
12
00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:40,559
A secretary
13
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:41,360
Two bailiffs
14
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:44,040
and Twelve jury members
15
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:47,909
The Adjudicator
16
00:00:48,190 --> 00:00:50,330
Ensures the efficient, lawful running
17
00:00:50,509 --> 00:00:53,879
of the Common Law Court process from start to finish.
18
00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:57,750
This will include giving required directions
19
00:00:57,990 --> 00:01:00,010
and to make sure that the jury of peers
20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,110
can deliberate in private,
21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,790
to reach their decisions.
22
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:07,400
The Sheriff
23
00:01:07,690 --> 00:01:09,490
Is an observer of the process
24
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:12,970
but does not take an active part until the conclusion.
25
00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:16,740
The Sheriff is allowed to question
the Plaintiff or Defender,
26
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:19,870
if he thinks clarification would assist the jury.
27
00:01:20,929 --> 00:01:22,729
They sign off on the court paperwork
28
00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:24,470
and can deputize people
29
00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:27,559
to enforce Common Law Court decrees and judgements.
30
00:01:30,529 --> 00:01:32,470
The Secretary Is responsible
31
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:34,440
for all court paperwork.
32
00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:37,920
And will ensure that the Common Law Court paperwork
33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,599
is in order and then countersigns it.
34
00:01:40,610 --> 00:01:40,620
Bailiffs
35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,050
The bailiffs are responsible for ensuring
36
00:01:47,050 --> 00:01:50,720
that the jury of peers maintain Common Law Court conditions.
37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,919
And Liaise with the adjudicator
38
00:01:52,930 --> 00:01:54,950
if the jury needs to ask any questions
39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,610
and accompanies individual
members of the jury to the toilet,
40
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:01,740
always leaving another bailiff with the rest of the jury.
41
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:06,070
Jury of Peers
42
00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:09,049
The most important part of the Common Law Court,
43
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:11,760
as they are required to act under their oath,
44
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:13,489
on behalf of the people
45
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:17,009
and to reach unanimous decisions and sanctions,
46
00:02:17,179 --> 00:02:18,739
which are based upon the facts
47
00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:19,910
presented before them
48
00:02:20,130 --> 00:02:22,250
by the Plaintiff and Defender.
49
00:02:23,459 --> 00:02:25,080
If no Defender appears,
50
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:28,560
they will take this to be a tacit admission of guilt
51
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:30,150
and will take this on board
52
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,370
when making their decisions and sanctions.
53
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:35,850
The decisions and sanctions of the Common Law Court
54
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,350
are final and cannot be challenged
55
00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:40,049
unless it can be shown
56
00:02:40,379 --> 00:02:42,040
that there was a direct family link
57
00:02:42,079 --> 00:02:44,040
with either the Plaintiff or Defender
58
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:47,090
or that evidence has been deliberately withheld
59
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:48,090
or tampered with.
60
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:53,479
The jury of peers will not be led,
61
00:02:53,559 --> 00:02:53,790
coerced or criticised,
62
00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:57,660
will remain solely in charge
63
00:02:57,940 --> 00:03:00,989
and trusted to act, according to their Common Law Court oath
64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,880
and their own conscience,
65
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:05,310
remembering that they are acting
66
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:06,970
on behalf of the people.
67
00:03:08,010 --> 00:03:11,120
While their identities will
remain undisclosed to the public,
68
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:14,829
they must be able to justify their decisions to the jury
69
00:03:15,009 --> 00:03:16,410
during deliberations.
70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,370
How it works
71
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,120
If you have a prime facie case,
72
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:27,540
contact the Common Law Court through info@commonlawcourt.com
73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,320
for advice on how to prepare
74
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,589
your documents, evidence and testimony
75
00:03:31,929 --> 00:03:33,909
into a proper and concise form.
76
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:36,540
Once you [The Plaintiff]
77
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:39,230
are happy that your case is complete,
78
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,730
send this documentary package to the Common Law Court
79
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:46,100
and serve an identical copy on the Defender
80
00:03:46,170 --> 00:03:46,910
or Defenders.
81
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,869
You cite them to appear at a Common Law Court hearing,
82
00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:54,070
using the Common Law Court citation proforma,
83
00:03:54,559 --> 00:03:56,250
giving them a time, place
84
00:03:56,530 --> 00:03:58,580
and at least 10 days notice.
85
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:01,270
The Common Law Court citing proforma
86
00:04:01,490 --> 00:04:03,579
will invite the Defender or Defenders
87
00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:04,450
to contact you
88
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:06,730
under an offer of mediation,
89
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,170
which must be completed before
90
00:04:09,170 --> 00:04:11,560
the commencement of the Common Law Court hearing.
91
00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:14,600
The Plaintiff will make the hearing public
92
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,079
and will give a minimum
93
00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:18,370
of 24 hours notice to attend,
94
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,899
this can be done
95
00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:22,460
by posting on the Common Law Court website
96
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:25,249
and/or at the venue for the hearing.
97
00:04:28,619 --> 00:04:30,740
The Plaintiff notifies the Common Law Court
98
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,330
that they wish to right a wrong or wrongs
99
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:35,510
then prepares a package of evidence
100
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:37,090
and cites the Defender.
101
00:04:37,690 --> 00:04:39,900
The Defender has three options:
102
00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:40,810
1.
103
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,060
Submit their defence documents to the Common Law Court
104
00:04:44,429 --> 00:04:46,380
and to the Plaintiff prior to the hearing.
105
00:04:46,889 --> 00:04:48,580
They will also appear in person
106
00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:50,300
to lead their own defence
107
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:54,470
They will not be allowed to be
represented by a statute solicitor
108
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:54,490
2.
109
00:04:56,270 --> 00:04:58,390
Enter into mediation with the Plaintiff
110
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:00,470
so as to settle the case,
111
00:05:00,490 --> 00:05:02,260
prior to the Common Law Court hearing.
112
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:03,320
3.
113
00:05:03,799 --> 00:05:05,689
If the Defender[s] submits paperwork
114
00:05:05,709 --> 00:05:07,540
but does not appear for the hearing,
115
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:09,410
then a member of the public
116
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:11,640
can read out their paperwork to the jury.
117
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:14,419
If there is no conclusion by mediation
118
00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:17,220
then the Common Law Court hearing will commence
119
00:05:20,460 --> 00:05:22,039
From the assembled public,
120
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:24,720
the adjudicator will ask for volunteers
121
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:26,909
to become officers of the Common Law Court
122
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,190
A minimum of 17 people are required, as described above.
123
00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:34,230
If more than 17 people want to take part,
124
00:05:34,849 --> 00:05:36,379
then the adjudicator can choose
125
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,399
to have a larger jury and/or number of bailiffs.
126
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,609
At this point the volunteers may not know
127
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:44,940
what the details and facts of the case are,
128
00:05:45,330 --> 00:05:47,680
or information about who the parties are.
129
00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:50,280
It is good practice for the adjudicator
130
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,489
to invite all potential court officers
131
00:05:52,490 --> 00:05:54,459
to visit the toilet before commencing
132
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:56,960
and to ask them to turn their telephones off.
133
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:03,000
Toilet breaks throughout a hearing can be disruptive
134
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,700
but an adjudicator must use their discretion
135
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:08,020
as to when to allow a toilet break,
136
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:10,139
anyone requiring a toilet break
137
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:13,609
will be accompanied to and from the toilet by a bailiff.
138
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:16,019
The adjudicator, will ensure
139
00:06:16,059 --> 00:06:19,470
that all of the court officers
swear the Common Law Court oath
140
00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:20,990
and on taking the oath,
141
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,960
they will be bound by Common Law Court conditions,
142
00:06:24,580 --> 00:06:27,000
they will not be able to access telephones
143
00:06:27,139 --> 00:06:30,230
or speak to anyone outside of the court officers.
144
00:06:30,889 --> 00:06:32,080
The secretary will,
145
00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:33,980
with the adjudicators guidance,
146
00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:35,789
hand out the court paperwork
147
00:06:35,949 --> 00:06:37,740
to be signed by the court officers,
148
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:39,190
recording their name
149
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
and a contact address or telephone number
150
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:44,130
as well as their written confirmation
151
00:06:44,450 --> 00:06:47,280
that they will act according to the Common Law Court Oath.
152
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:52,920
The adjudicator will invite the jury of peers
153
00:06:52,930 --> 00:06:55,170
to sit together, facing the Plaintiff
154
00:06:55,230 --> 00:06:57,409
and Defenders who will address the jury.
155
00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:00,300
The bailiffs are situated next to the jury,
156
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:03,110
With the sheriff and secretary sitting together,
157
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:06,070
apart from the jury.
158
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:07,430
The adjudicator will ask the secretary
159
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:09,889
to hand out the Plaintiff's document package
160
00:07:10,139 --> 00:07:11,489
to each court officer,
161
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:13,370
this does not include the bailiffs.
162
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:16,310
The adjudicator will then call the case
163
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:17,820
announcing the parties
164
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:20,250
and the adjudicator will invite the Plaintiff
165
00:07:20,450 --> 00:07:21,530
to address the jury
166
00:07:21,530 --> 00:07:23,549
with their presentation and evidence,
167
00:07:23,590 --> 00:07:25,020
without interruption.
168
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:26,210
Normally,
169
00:07:26,570 --> 00:07:29,749
questions are raised by the Plaintiff and/or Defendant,
170
00:07:30,379 --> 00:07:32,040
but when there is no Defendant,
171
00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:36,360
the Jury and/or sheriff will be
allowed to ask limited questions,
172
00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:39,610
if they think that will aid the understanding of the jury.
173
00:07:40,130 --> 00:07:44,089
The Plaintiff will swear the Common Law
Court oath before addressing the jury.
174
00:07:45,070 --> 00:07:48,970
The Defender will swear the Common Law
Court oath before addressing the jury.
175
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,780
Only when the Plaintiff has finished their presentation
176
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160
will the adjudicator ask the Defender
177
00:07:57,490 --> 00:07:59,480
if they wish to ask any questions?
178
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,890
If the Defender did turn up,
179
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:05,089
the adjudicator will invite them to present their case
180
00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:07,179
and the secretary will ensure
181
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:09,870
that their paperwork is handed out, if any,
182
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,740
to the same court officers.
183
00:08:12,410 --> 00:08:13,920
When the Defender or Defenders
184
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,550
have finished their presentation
185
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:19,010
the adjudicator will invite the Plaintiff to ask questions.
186
00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:22,700
If the Defender does not answer
the Common Law Court citation,
187
00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:24,789
does not enter into mediation
188
00:08:24,970 --> 00:08:27,599
and does not appear to defend the case against them,
189
00:08:28,150 --> 00:08:30,680
then the jury would have no defence to rely on.
190
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,809
This can also be taken
191
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:34,730
as a tacit admission of guilt,
192
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:37,600
so long as the Plaintiff has “signed-for”
193
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,909
proof of postage of the Common Law Court citation.
194
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,670
The Unanimous Decision
195
00:08:46,570 --> 00:08:50,000
The adjudicator will now remind
the jury of their responsibilities,
196
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:51,680
they will ask them to select
197
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,669
a chairman of the jury from their number,
198
00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:56,130
who will record their verdict and sanctions
199
00:08:56,259 --> 00:08:58,630
on the Common Law Court court provided paperwork.
200
00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:00,579
They will also verbally announce
201
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:03,080
the jury's decisions after deliberations.
202
00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:05,490
The jury will be invited to retire
203
00:09:05,530 --> 00:09:07,850
to deliberate, accompanied by the bailiff's.
204
00:09:08,429 --> 00:09:10,769
Any viewing members of the public will leave the room
205
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:12,290
to give the jury privacy.
206
00:09:12,830 --> 00:09:15,369
Once the jury have reached their decisions and sanctions,
207
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:16,550
they will be announced.
208
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,990
The adjudicator will once more ask the jury members
209
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,180
if they concur that it was indeed
210
00:09:22,390 --> 00:09:24,720
a unanimous decision and sanction.
211
00:09:25,540 --> 00:09:27,129
The adjudicator will confirm
212
00:09:27,389 --> 00:09:30,710
that the jury's Common Law Court
paperwork is signed and dated
213
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:32,920
and the Common Law Court secretary
and the sheriff will be asked
214
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:35,280
to countersign the Common Law Court paperwork.
215
00:09:35,730 --> 00:09:37,850
The court officers will then be discharged
216
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,040
and the findings will be sent to
the Common Law Court for recording.
217
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:44,290
The jury chairman has the responsibility
218
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:47,189
of ensuring that jury members get an opportunity
219
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:49,070
to debate, discuss and agree,
220
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,250
according to their Common Law Court oath.
221
00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:54,080
If the jury feel the need to do so,
222
00:09:54,449 --> 00:09:56,580
they can vote to remove the jury chairman,
223
00:09:57,010 --> 00:10:00,330
if they believe that there has
been any unacceptable behaviour.
224
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,240
It is for the jury to reach their own decision.
225
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:07,050
The Common Law Court court paperwork
will have clear instructions
226
00:10:07,230 --> 00:10:09,260
regarding the remedy that is being sought,
227
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,040
with the sums or other arrangements requested.
228
00:10:12,719 --> 00:10:14,310
The jury may be guided by this
229
00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:17,590
but are entitled to reach whatever decision they deem
230
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:20,130
to be relevant, proportional and reasonable,
231
00:10:20,340 --> 00:10:23,580
after considering all circumstances, relating to the case.
232
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,899
Case Closed.
