Court refuses trial combat
David Sapsted
A court has rejected a 60-year-old man's attempt to
invoke the ancient right to trial combat, rather than
pay a £25 fine for a minor motoring offence.
Leon Humphreys remained adamant yesterday that his
right to fight a champion nominated the Driver and
Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) was still valid under
European human rights legislation. He said it would
have been a "reasonable" way to settle the matter.
