The point here is that the substance of the claims is not in dispute. It is well documented and acknowledged by the court. There are a myriad of these cases, such as where a father (Gary Johnson) was jailed for wishing happy birthday to his grown up son (http://www.essexlive.news/sons-slam-jailing-father-facebook-...).

There are multiple problems with UK secret courts and their draconian and excessive powers being wielded in venomous ways. The UK is not a safe place to have a dispute with petty public officials as they resort to these powers and others to attack those who fail to comply with 'right-think' or question authority.
