The judiciary, in practice, shows two kinds of venue: a corporate administrative court, and a Common Law court of record. In an administrative court a judge does not sit judicially but as an administrator settling contractual disputes. In a court of record a judge sits judicially with a jury of the people to remedy harm to living people. Some commercial-list judges are designated to sit with juries when a true court of record is convened.
Common Law recognises the lawful rights of living men and women.
Statutes prescribe legislation to administer artificial legal persons.
Administrative courts (de facto commerce)
A statutory administrative court is, in practice, a corporate banking-style dispute service for consenting parties. Living men and women often consent—unwittingly—to joinder with artificial persons and to settling commercial adhesion contracts. The judge acts as a corporate administrative officer. Such venues are not the de jure laws and usages of the realm. Any court without a jury present is an administrative court.
Halsbury’s Laws has been cited to the effect that there is no authority for administrative courts in that country and no Act can legitimise them.
Courts of record (de jure justice)
A Common Law court of record is for justice with a jury. Peers examine what is true in fact to decide what is right, just, and fair. Parties are living men and women; remedies address harm or loss to injured parties and protect living communities. The judge sits judicially. For a living man or woman, the proper venue of justice is a constitutionally sanctioned court of record with a jury of peers.
Administrative courts often function as collection and enforcement arms where a man or woman may contract to act as an artificial person and “perform” in the theatre of commerce. Gallery spectators watch; bar members attend as corporate officers.
Private bar associations bind members by oath to the association—a conflict with de jure governance and justice. That structure supports personage (misrepresenting a living being as a fictional person) and barratry (false claims in court). Bar associations worldwide are linked as franchises to international bar structures historically associated with the Crown Temple in the City of London. Bonded national indebtedness is often described as held by that “Crown.” Any court without a constitutionally sanctioned jury of peers is, in that framing, a Crown court.
Administrative courts are vessels in dry-dock. Every court without a jury is, in this framing, an administrative venue for legal-fiction commerce—a dispute service for consenting parties under Admiralty/Maritime rules (Law of the Sea). The room is split by a “bar” like a ship’s rail; the accused “vessel” is placed in the “dock.” The judge often acts as a corporate administrative officer, not a Common Law judicial officer with a jury of peers.
