The Vice-admiralty courts started to takeover cases that would have gone to common law courts with a jury trial of peers for the accused. Colonists argued that the lack of a trial-by-jury was an infringement of their British "constitutional" rights. The Admiralty courts were biased against the colonists, and British officers could require anyone charged to be taken to Nova Scotia. The legal concept of the Vice-Admiralty courts was that a defendant was assumed guilty until he proved himself innocent. Failure to appear as commanded resulted in an automatic guilty verdict. Vice Admiralty Courts were located in Boston, New York, Charlestown, and Philadelphia.
This act gave Parliament the right to make laws for all colonies. It was passed in 1766, but was not enforced immediately. The enforcement came later in 1774 with what the colonists called the “Intolerable Acts”.

Hats off Productions, an acting troupe.. hmm if everyone else can say things are staged, how do we know this wasn't staged and all the participants aren't acting out so that they have a credible video?
Just sayin...

I have to ask... you do realize that this was a British Colony prior to the Declaration of Independence and the war that subsequently followed and that, thus, it would have been under British colonial law. Right?
IE what happened in 1774 has no bearing at all upon the subsequent nation that came into existence after that.

i'll have to review the importance of Deleware regarding corp registry, as i recall there were a few states that were particularly favorable and Nevada rings a bell too.
well yes, the Chancery Courts (Crown) never really left us ... they've been active in DE since 1792. deleware.gov
now why, if we 'won the war' are we still dominated by the Crown ?

The video of the angry man... without any information to follow up on the disposition of the case we have nothing but a video of a man who caused a scene in a courtroom.
I also stated that I was originally on the fence about it until these threads appeared.

It should be a republic but it seems to be owned by other folks instead. Some shareholders...

Interesting. I can find countless blog articles discussing this, but this supposed non profit doesn't seem to exist here - where it actually would have to be listed.
Can you explain why the state of Delaware doesn't have a record of this?
