I don't understand.
What the hell is going on? It looks like some jackass spouting legal mumbo-jumbo at a bunch of understandably perplexed public servants. Is this some sort of British-flavoured libertarian bullshit?

I'm not sure either
But I think by 'denying authority' to the courts under some ancient legislation, they are hoping to avoid paying council tax as nobody would then have the authority to demand it.
One thing I found annoying / disturbing in the vid is that the judgement (or whatever it is called) order was signed before the hearing started. That is slack and should be cracked down on, legal professions get huge amounts of money, so the least they can do is their job properly :-p

Watched it
Interesting in places, he does has some points to make. The points I found interesting were him observing differences between law and statute etc, that police don't have authority unless you break a law, but surly we all knew that?
But by and large I think he's talking bollocks. I don't really understand what he thinks he / we will all gain from 'destroying the person'. He forgets about the positives that are resulting from these legal fictions, like benefits, the ability to run public services such as libraries etc.

They aren't denying authority under ancient legislation.
They're behaving like pricks. They clearly don't have the faintest idea of how the law works - hence all the stuff about common law, commercial law and maritime law. Utter nonsense from start to finish.
As for the point about the timing of the deposition - well, I'm not a lawyer, but I'd've thought that it can't possibly mean what the commentator claims.

I'm with Enzyme
And I am a lawyer. Clearly this is just an elaborate way of getting out of paying council tax.
