it sounds like he did a fmotl defense,

The policeman replied by telling the lord chief justice, sitting with Mr Justice Horner, that he did not understand, or consent to the proceedings.Mr Carlin, who repeatedly asked for a trial by jury, said: "There's no independent tribunal, therefore this is not a court of record."
But dismissing that assessment, Sir Declan responded: "Your submission is nonsense."
Interjections continued throughout the hearing, with Mr Carlin at one point arguing that both judges and the attorney general should stand down from the case.
He also said: "Lord Justice Gillen has used his judicial influence to deflect determination away from criminal actions for which I arrested him."

so there was at least some basis in his claim at first

Mr Carlin in one of several documents which he submitted to the court has sought to rely on a judgment of Mr Justice Peart in the High Court in Dublin where he objected to hearsay evidence of debts.

Parties are entitled to put in an affidavit and to rely on hearsay evidence with the court assessing its weigh

There are no barriers to stupid.. ( my mums saying ). and i know there is no restrictions to them being masons or members of other groups ( same with public servants and politicians ).

The problems with cases like this, are the 99% of people in that position is because they borrowed more than they could afford, gambled and lost. but you get the 1% ( like that calum user on her ) were the systems truly have been used against them. Ther are very genuine cases were people were missold mortgages by agents, yet any judge/regulator would just think of defenses like these.

If an officer risks getting put away for arresting a judge, perhaps that's why Humberside police are reluctant to tackle "this one".
