Common Law Assent — The issue, as I see it, is one of jurisdiction, consent, and sovereignty. It is the application of Corpus Juris under the guise of public health, whereas our constitutional tradition is founded upon Habeas Corpus. Under Habeas Corpus, the principle is that your body belongs to you and that no authority may lawfully detain or interfere with your liberty without due process. The concern many of us have is that, over time, rights and freedoms have increasingly been treated as privileges that can be granted, restricted, suspended, or removed by government decree. During lockdowns, people witnessed rules appearing, changing, and disappearing at remarkable speed. Businesses were opened and closed, movement was restricted, livelihoods were affected, and medical interventions were heavily promoted through a combination of legislation, pressure, incentives, and social coercion. Whether you agreed with those measures or not, they demonstrated how quickly fundamental freedoms can be limited when people accept authority without question. My position is simple: Your body is your own. Your rights are your own. Your consent matters. Your sovereignty matters. If those principles are surrendered, then all other rights become conditional upon the permission of those exercising power over you. The difference between sovereignty and slavery. The ability to object and assert your rights through lawful notice is therefore extremely important. It provides a clear and evidential means of making your position known and placing others on notice of the facts as you understand them. Once informed, those acting against your interests can no longer claim ignorance of your position. Lawful notice creates a record, asserts your voice, and forms part of the defence of your rights by ensuring your objections, claims, and standing have been clearly expressed. It provides evidence that the recipient has been informed and can no longer claim to be acting in ignorance of your stated position. No one can preserve your rights for you. Ultimately, that responsibility rests with each individual. In an age where many believe the rule of law is being steadily eroded, the ability to stand, object, and place matters on the record has never been more important.
