stupid case # 1

Balmain New Ferry Co. Ltd v Robertson

This is under false imprisonment: 
A ferry company placed over the entrance to its harf stating that a fare of one penny must be paid by all persons entering or leaving the wharf, whether or not they had travelled by the company's ferries. The plaintiff, a BARRISTER, was aware of these conditions, and had been to the premises before. He paid the fare, and was admitted. Having missed the ferry, he attempted to leave the wharf by another turnstile, the only means of exit except by water. He refused to pay another penny as required by the notice. After 20 minutes of argument, during which the defendant's employees tried to prevent him from leaving through a small opening beside the turnstile, he eventually forced his way through. 
He brought an action for false imprisonment.

Well MR law practitioner, you sir, IS STUPID AS FUCK.

of course you're going to FAIL for false imprisonment. 
there is a sign saying you must pay $1 to go in, and $1 to come out. So you refuse to pay, then you can't fucking leave.
