Mike Holt, a Common Law Sheriff, has teamed up with the Sovereign People’s Assembly of Western Australia to convene a Common Law Court on May 12.
Holt has sent a summons to Supreme Court Judge Elizabeth Hollingworth, County Court Judges Meryl Sexton and Michael Bourke, and to ex-AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, inviting them to appear before a jury to answer charges he was unlawfully tried in a Melbourne County Court in direct contravention of Constitution Section 80. He was summoned to stand trial in Victoria on the order of Judge Hollingworth.
Holt gave evidence at the “unjust” trial of Phil Galea in 2020 who was jailed under terrorism laws, preparing for a terrorist act and making a document likely to facilitate a terrorist act’.
Hollingworth issued a suppression order during the trial she was conducing in the Melbourne Supreme Court. Suppression Orders are issued by judges to protect police sources, or the identity of people who may be in danger during a trial. By law, a suppression order need only be posted on the door of the court where a trial is taking place.
The suppression order was not published anywhere else. A public notice was not sent out to anyone in the media, or was anyone in other states informed about the Order. Holt lives in Queensland. There was no way he could have seen an order posted on a Victorian courtroom door.
Holt pointed out from his first appearance in court that the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901 Section 80 specifically demands that someone accused of committing a crime in their home state must be tried in that state.
He told the court that he wrote and published the offending article at his home in Queensland. Therefore, by Constitution Section 80 he should have been tried in Queensland. But Bourke decided he could ignore the Constitution and ordered him to stand trial in Melbourne instead.
When he appeared “under duress” to stand trial before Judge Sexton, he once again pointed out that putting him on trial in Melbourne was against Constitutional Section 80. But Sexton decided she would uphold Bourke’s decision and ordered that his trial must go ahead.
Naturally Holt was convicted and sentenced ex parte to a fine and six days jail. He was arrested and jailed for six days in 2023 because he refused to appear in a Victorian court. So the six days jail was stated as time served.
He said these judges and others have harmed him and his family over the last five years, and he says it is time to hold them accountable for their actions before a jury of their peers.
Do we have the power and authority to convene a common law court and summon judges to appear before a jury?
The first three words of the Constitution are “WHEREAS the people…”
“These words establish We, the People of the Commonwealth, as the supreme authority to create a government. The Constitution lays out exactly how a government and judicature may operate. It is our Work Place Contract with our Public Servants. Constitution Section 51 lists all the duties of a duly elected government. No government may use any powers outside the Constitution, such as they did by shutting down our nation and mandating that everyone get the death jab. In fact, Section 51(xxiiiA) specifically states that the government cannot force anyone to take any medical or dental treatment against their will.
“Everyone in Australia has a right to sue the government for any harm they have suffered as a result of the fake Covid pandemic,” he said.
“A common law jury has the authority to mandate any penalty it sees fit, including the death penalty if the punishment fits the crime. How many unnecessary deaths of Australians have the corporate politicians caused during Covid?”
How a common law court is conducted
There are no Judges and no lawyers in a Common Law Court. The prosecutor and defendant must present their own case to the jury. They cannot have anyone to re-present their testimony. However, they may engage a law advisor to sit beside them during a trial.
There is an Adjudicator who presides over the proceedings to ensure the trial is conducted with dignity, honour and without disruption. An Adjudicator must have a good knowledge of the law, as it is their duty to ensure that any laws are obeyed. An Adjudicator acts like a referee to ensure that the court observes proper lawful procedures and to settle any questions about the law.
Other members of the court will include a 12-man jury sequestered in a room in Perth where they will listen to the evidence presented by the prosecution and defense. Holt will be testifying by Zoom call from Queensland. There will be at least one Court Bailiff standing by throughout the trial to ensure decorum in the courtroom. There may also be any number of Common Law Sheriffs and observers.
Will you be able to join the Zoom call for the trial?
The trial will be recorded and the video posted on Rumble.
What happens if they are convicted?
“While it is highly unlikely that these criminals will obey the law of the People and actually turn up for their common law trial, it doesn’t matter. It is traditional in a common law court to conduct the trial even if a defendant does not turn up. Their non-appearance is a tacit admission of guilt and therefore the jury will automatically convict them if the Prosecution’s evidence proves guilt.
“If the court issues a verdict, it is binding on every member of the Commonwealth to arrest the convicted criminals.
“The court may not be able to convince the police to do their duty of law, but the People have a very powerful weapon at our disposal. “We can name and shame convicted criminals by posting Wanted posters exposing their faces on the internet, as well as on any flat surface a poster can be stuck on, like this,” he said.
“Public humiliation is the one thing all public SERVANTS dread.”
After the trial, what’s next?
After the trial, Holt will invite patriotic Aussies to join him in Canberra soon after the new Governor General is sworn in to show her that we expect her to obey Queen Victoria’s Letters Patent (https://cirnow.com.au/the-secret-of-queen-victorias-letters-patent/).
“We will demand that she institute Martial Law as an interim measure until we can conduct an honest election, sack the political party corporate government, and appoint a Ruling Council, government Ministers, judges and magistrates as mandated in Queen Victoria’s Letters Patent to the Governor General,” Holt said.
“Then, the People will conduct a series of carefully considered Constitutional referendums to decide the future of our nation. How we rebuild our nation from the wreckage the political parties have created must be a team effort of every Australian. We will have to learn how to debate political issues just as well as we do the footy scores if we are going to reform our Constitution.”
What type of government?
To rebuild the nation, protect our borders, encourage manufacturing and trade, and create a better system of government, he said a plan is needed.
Holt’s vision for achieving a new nation is laid out in his website:

He says that we could use the plan to ensure a peaceful transition to a new government system of the people, by the people, for the people.
One question that is frequently asked is, “What happens to social security and other services if we change the government?
“The answer is simple: Nothing.”
A change in government does not mean the destruction of the government infrastructure. All government services will continue as we work to make the changes the people decide on to rebuild our nation.
