Court refuses trial by combat
A court has rejected a 60-year-old man's attempt to invoke the ancient right
to trial by 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 by 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.
Magistrates sitting at Bury St Edmunds on Friday had disagreed and instead
of accepting his offer to take on a clerk from Swansea with "samurai swords,
Ghurka knives or heavy hammers", fined him ￡200 with ￡100 costs.
Humphreys, an unemployed mechanic, was taken to court after refusing to pay
the original ￡25 fixed penalty for failing to notify the DVLA that his
Suzuki motorcycle was off the road.
After entering a not guilty plea, he threw down his unconventional challenge
. Humphreys, from Bury St Edmunds, said: "I was willing to fight a champion
put up by the DVLA, but it would have been a fight to the death." | h*****i

, the trial by combat is known primarily from the customs of the Germanic
peoples. It was in use among the ancient Burgundians, Ripuarian Franks,
Alamans, Lombards, and Swedes. It was unknown in Anglo-Saxon law. It was
unknown in Roman law, does not figure in the traditions of oriental
antiquity such as the code of Hammurabi or the Torah nor does it exist in
Irish Brehon Law.
