Devon Constitutional Seminar 19 01 2025 Part 1

The laws of England are our birthright. There are many jurisdictions for a reason.

Corporations do and should exist in certain circumstances. The corporation cannot not go to prison for its crimes but its officers can. This is where the legal saying "The law maketh the King, the King does not maketh the law" and "The King can do no wrong, but his servants can" His servants are officers of the legal fiction King.

"Sir Edward Coke.
It is reasonable that a hospital in expectation or intention, or by nomination, should be sufficient to support the name of an incorporation, even when the corporation itself exists only in the abstract, and rests solely in the intention and consideration of the law. For a corporation aggregate, composed of many, is invisible, immortal, and exists only in the intention and consideration of the law. Therefore, it cannot have a predecessor or successor.

Such a corporation cannot commit treason, be outlawed, or excommunicated, for it has no soul. Neither can it appear in person, but only through an attorney. A corporation aggregate of many cannot perform fealty, as an invisible body cannot be present in person, nor can it swear an oath. It is not subject to physical weaknesses or the death of a natural body, among other distinctions.

" Sir Edward Coke Case of Sutton's Hospital (1612) 77 Eng Rep 960 is an old common law case decided by Sir Edward Coke. It concerned The Charterhouse, London, which was held to be a properly constituted corporation.
