The sequence of our requests is logical, non-repetitive and sequential.
The rules governing the sequence are:
The Laws of Scotland, Stair Memorial Encyclopaedia (Stair), Volumes 4 and 18.
The courts are where the State exercises its authority. According to Stair, Vol. 4, para (1):
"'The authority of the court derives from the sovereign power."
The sovereign power is defined in Stair, Vol. 18, para. 42:
"Thus in feudalism landownership and sovereignty coincided, so that the Crown's sovereignty over Scotland and its dominium eminens, its ultimate tenurial superiority, were the same thing, were identical concepts."
In Scotland, the Crown's sovereignty is the same as its landownership – the two are the same thing.
Therefore, by the definition in The Laws of Scotland, for it to have sovereignty In Shetland, it must have ownership of the land.
It is clear that the Crown's sovereignty is a fundamental requirement for UK and Scottish legislation to apply in Shetland.
The sequence of our requests is:
- Do you have information showing proof that the Crown has the allodial ownership of Shetland?
- Do you have information showing proof that Shetland is part of Scotland?
- Do you have information showing proof of your authority in Shetland?
- Do you have information showing proof that you have any business in Shetland?
- Do you have information showing proof that business you have already done in Shetland has any validity?
Clearly, these requests are not for the same information. They are sequential and each depends on the response from the previous one. Because the questions are critical to the operations of any organisation in Shetland, it is incumbent on every organisation to be able to make a positive response to each request. If they do not hold the information, it is their duty to enquire from their superiors, going as high as may be necessary. To say they do not hold the information is to say that they have no business in Shetland.
Any organisation operating in Shetland under UK or Scottish legislation must be able to show how it has authority to do so.
If, as we believe, the Crown does not have sovereignty in Shetland, there is no basis of authority for any organisation working in Shetland under UK or Scottish legislation.
By the definition in The Laws of Scotland, we believe that the people of Shetland, as the allodial owners of the land, are sovereign in their own right. Until we are proved wrong, any organisation (and any of its officers) operating under UK or Scottish legislation in Shetland and unable to answer our questions in the affirmative is knowingly acting fraudulently. Until we have proof that any organisation has the authority to operate in Shetland, the people of The Sovereign nation of Shetland will continue to stand in their innate sovereignty.
Our belief that no outside authority exists in Shetland is bolstered by the fact that the procurator fiscal (the prosecutor) does declines to prosecute on matters that should be routine for him – driving without any UK documentation or DVLA number plates. Is this in the public interest, or is he simply unable to fulfill his duty to show the court how it has jurisdiction?
