Yes, Martin Geddes has been up to his illuminations of matters legal and lawful, in terms that I would wager most of us could comprehend.
If we were asked to attend court and found ourselves "had up" before the head teacher in the local secondary school, we might begin to question the genuineness not only of the proceedings but also of those conducting the proceedings.
"When is a 'Court' not a Court?" would be a relevant question, and the Head Teacher should have some explaining to do.
Still, if instead we had attended in a building labelled as a "Court" and been confronted by somebody professing to be a magistrate, would anybody dare to question the legitimacy of the situation? Yet the overwhelming likelihood of just accepting the given as legitimate surely is an open invitation for fraudsters to take advantage? Even unwitting fraudsters who themselves had not validated their higher authority?
