I’ll start with the last question first. The short answer is no, James only did it that way because he had an imminent court case coming up with no real time to lodge paperwork prior.
What i understand KL does is use “an agent in commerce” when he does some kind of commercial activity. You could perhaps think of it like a cop.. when they aren’t in uniform they are just a “private” person going about their business. However, when in uniform there are rules and regulations they are obliged to follow.
KL is a citizen of one of the original states which is a different type of citizenship to a United States citizen. So straight away he is in another jurisdiction to most of the US.. America has a complicated history and I don’t pretend to know all of it, but if you are a citizen of the United States, then you are subject to the Federal laws, Congressional decisions etc. etc.. he works i presume, so he has a permit if you like to carry out commerce in that realm..If I remember he also signs it a different way to signify his position. It’s easy to avoid government docs, just make your own.. job done. He looks like he has gone through the hard parts, now he just handles his affairs instead of letting a third party do it.
In commonwealth countries we also have options. Our laws derive from the monarch and the law foundation is the King James bible. If you think like everything we use today in the current system is provided to us courtesy of Caesar, this is civil procedure, roman law, international law, admiralty law.. This is foreign to the law Australia was founded on. If you look at every statute or law you can imagine.. not one of them refer to man or woman.. none. It’s all persons; which means amongst other things.. actors mask in ancient times.. today it means corporation, individual, thing, chattel.
You don’t need to be in court to use an abatement.. The abatement tells the prosecutor or anyone else coming after you.. hey, i’m not the person, why are you using the all caps name and other grammatical and procedural errors against me.. Go away and fix those mistakes and we can start again.. Of course they can’t, because they act in the office of a corporation and a corporation cannot tell the living what to do. I’m still trying to confirm the details, but I am thinking right now I can use an abatement against say, a council CEO or a cop, govt bureaucrat or the like.. All of their paperwork is aimed at the person.. not the living.. so the abatement says to them.. there are errors in your procedure and paperwork.. fix it or there maybe consequences. It might explain why judges are a bit nervous.
