KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some shop owners have been arguing that Article 61 of the Magna Carta enables them not to consent to being fined for CoVid lockdown breeches.
- It was designed to protect the rights of the barons rather than the rights of the common people.
- Today, only 4 clauses of the original Magna Carta that are on the statute books today.
- Those 4 clauses come from the 1225 version of the Magna Carta, not the 1215 one.
- The 1225 version of the Magna Carta does not contain article 61.
- You need to consult a lawyer before deciding whether to buck the system or not.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The 1215 Magna Carta is effectively no longer valid. It's actually the 1225 Magna Carta…...’
‘Having dived into this a little bit, I would say that it's not valid, so I wouldn't recommend going down that route.’
‘Of course, I'm not a lawyer, please do not take this as legal advice.’
