"Judges have described it as “gibberish”, “obvious nonsense”, “largely
incoherent, if not incomprehensible” and “gobbledygook”.
It involves grand claims like “Magna Carta means you do not need to pay your
mortgage”, or “the introduction of decimal currency means income tax is
illegal”.
It’s the strange and growing phenomenon of pseudolaw.
Pseudolaw looks a bit like law. It uses legal texts and sounds kind of like
something a lawyer might say. But it does not follow normal legal rules.
So where did it come from, and why it is so worrisome?"
