A man who represents himself in Court has a fool for a lawyer and a jackass for a client. I have no idea from where this maxim originated, but, however true it sounds, there can be exceptions. Many years ago, I decided to put it to the experimental test and, after I had successfully defended myself, was told by a (very old but razor sharp) High Court judge that I was ‘rather a canny young chap’. No further encouragement was required, so, in full jackass mode, I did it again, this time in a County Court, and came away with a 50-50 draw. It can be done — although, should there be a next time, I would probably hire a proper professional jackass to do the talking for me.
My advice to anyone contemplating self-representation is to do so only when the facts are overwhelmingly in one’s favour. The argument should almost be able to make itself. Any other time is either brave, incredibly stupid or both.
In December of last year, a Canadian man called Patrick King was fined $1,200 for flouting COVID lockdown rules. In a group larger than the permitted ten — in Red Deer, Alberta — the indomitable Mr King refused to pay the fine and opted for a day in Court. By so doing, he must have known that, were he to lose, he would be saddled with the other party’s costs on top of the original fine.
In May of this year, Mr King attended Court and requested (scientific) information with which to formulate his defence. The judge allowed him to subpoena Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Deena Hinshaw, and request proof that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had been isolated from a clinical sample. If such proof were presented, the scientific basis for the fine would have been demonstrated and the checkmated King would have been instructed to pay up.
In Article 148 (13 Dec 2020), I published a letter from a Californian research biologist who had been unable to isolate SARS-CoV-2, despite ploughing through 1,500 ‘COVID’ samples. In addition, German journalist Samuel Eckert has offered $1 million to anyone who can prove that SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of any respiratory disease. After four months, the money remains on the table. As far as I am aware — and my ear has been pressed firmly to the ground for eighteen months — there is no proof, anywhere in the world, that a disease called COVID-19 (caused by SARS-CoV-2) exists.
Back to Alberta. At a subsequent Court hearing, later in May, the Chief Medical Officer dropped the ultimate bombshell: ‘Mr King is requesting material evidence that we do not have.’ I have great pleasure in including an excerpt from the official Court documentation (Figure 171.1).

Following this monumental judgement in Mr King’s favour, the province of Alberta has removed almost all COVID restrictions. Children will return to school without being forced to cover their faces all day long; people will hug each other (for good reason); and freedom of assembly has been reclaimed for the people by a solitary man who knew both the law and enough science and was prepared to stand firm.
Patrick King was interviewed by the Minnesotan DJ Stew Peters after his groundbreaking legal victory (Figure 171.2). The judgement will now constitute the basis for thousands of other cases.
Furthermore, it has exposed the COVID hoax to Canada and the rest of the world.
