Courtesy Article: "De Laudibus Legum Angliae"--"In Praise of the Laws of England"--Quote from Sir John Fortescue (c.1395-c.1477)"Common Law: Past, Present, Future, and Beyond..." written by Gardenia C. Hung, M.A.,B.A.
The legal grounds of common law are based "in its beginnings lost in the mist of the history of northern Europe and Scandinavia, touched by the influence of the Roman Empire and the history of the English peoples who are frequently invaded by cross-cultures who remained, intermarried with the local citizens and greatly affected their customs and habits."
While the Romans ruled Britain for almost 400 years, the development of the Justinian code and of the Roman law was still 100 years away before they left England . During 600 A.D., the English were converted to Christianity and canon law became established in England . Canon law, as a judicial system of the church, has been a significant factor in English legal history and has acquired a name all of its own--equity.
For many years, two (2) parallel courts existed in England , courts of equity, which were free to apply principles of conscience, and common law courts. The "common law" is so called because it was "commonly" applied throughout the kingdom of England in the King's Court.The last successful cross-cultural invasion of England was by the Normans over the Saxons in 1066 A.D., fought over the Battle of Hastings.
Since the 11th century A.D., the English were able to develop their own legal system in a typical English manner--they avoided the method of trying to write down all known laws on paper." The English won the protection of their own basic civil rights from their rulers, as noted in the Magna Carta endorsed and signed by King John in 1215. From that time onwards, the English applied justice, equity, and fairness in the developing courts, with trials by jury for contests between individual citizens disputing over property, personal injuries and contracts.
At other times, acts of Parliament defined specific crimes and prescribed penalties. Judges and members of Parliament established British English laws gradually by legal precedents. The result is then what is known still today as "common law": that is to say, custom, tradition, decisions by judges in specific cases and acts of Parliament.This legal system based on "common law" has been well established for the last 400 years in the United States of America , between 1215 A.D. and 1607 A.D., when the British arrived and settled in Historical Jamestowne, Virginia.
For the American colonists, legal experience differed according to the background of the settlers. Since lawyers were few at the time, important cases were heard and decided in London , England . For the last 400 years, "common law" has become the most important root of the American legal system founded on solid judicial grounds from England and imported to the United States of America , during the 17th century through the 21st century and beyond...
Common law has been practiced throughout the kingdom by the King's Court as long as the English languages has been used by the Angles, the Jutes, the Saxons, and the Normans, influenced by Latin and Greek, as well as by the Celts--the Welsh, the Irish, the Scots, and the Cornish--all Gaelic-speaking tribes who were natives of the British Isles before the English settled in the United Kingdom.The Angles and the Jutes invaded England from Denmark . The Saxons traveled from Saxony which is now known as Germany . And the Normans sailed across the English Channel from France ...
Following the Saxon invasion from Germany , the word "Anglii" and " Anglia " became part of the language as used by the Celts to refer to the invaders. One hundred and fifty years after the first raids, King Aethelbert of Kent was named "rex Anglorum" by Pope Gregory. Since then, these people have been called "Angelcynn" (Angle-kin) and their language was "Englisc". By 1000 Anno Domini, the country was generally known as "Englaland", the land of Angles .The development of the English language moved the practice of common law throughout the invasions of England and the cross-cultural revolutions which took place before and after the year 1066 A.D., marked by the Battle of Hastings, fought between King Harold II and King William I.
An example of "common law" is the concept of "conversion" which defines an intentional tort to personal property (same as "chattel") where the wrongdoers' unjustified, willful interference with the "chattel" deprives the owner of the possession of such "chattel". The owner must have actual possession or immediate right to possession since the time of the wrongful misuse, alteration, or abuse occurred.
Interference in common law "conversion" means the exercise of dominion over another's chattel. Intent to dispossess the owner of the chattel is not a required element of the claim. In other words, intentional removal of another's chattel under the mistaken belief that it belongs to the wrongdoer, does not relieve the wrongdoer of liability under conversion.
Stealing something from someone else is one form of conversion. However, conversion is not limited to theft. Conversion can also be accomplished by moving, transferring, discarding, hiding, vandalizing or destroying another person's chattel. Merely using another person's chattel can be grounds for conversion in certain cases.Legal remedy for conversion is usually in the form of damages restitution equal to the fair market value of the chattel at the time of conversion.
Conversion is an interference with another's ownership of property. It is a general intent tort, not a specific intent tort. That means that the intent to take or otherwise deal with the property is enough to support the claim. The standard remedy and relief for conversion is a judgement for damages in an amount equal to the fair market value of the property. Punitive damages are also possible to be assessed because conversion is an intentional tort.

Illinois Homeowner's Constitutional Right To Repair Real Estate Property
DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR OBJECTION TO THE VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR DEMOLITION AND FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Now comes Gardenia C. Hung as Pro Se, once again, on behalf of the Defendants to present this Motion for Objection to the Plaintiff’s Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief based on constitutional grounds, as follow:
Plaintiff and Counsel, Howard C. Jablecki et al. are abusing the Court’s discretion in “scienter” with guilty knowledge, as accomplices for direct cause of action, as noted on record, and by non-disclosure and/or exclusion of key evidence leading to the current damages, losses, and disrepair of the subject property;
This Court is abusing the Defendants, as Lombard resident homeowners, by admitting the Plaintiff’s speculation as improper opinions, not well grounded nor supported by facts of evidence for restoration and preservation of the Lombard Historical Brick Bungalow, already on record to comply with provisions;
This Court erred in denying the Defendants’ Combined §2-615 Motion to Dismiss and §2-619 Motion to Strike the Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief, based on the presiding judge’s “improper opinions and hearsay” about “improper language” and “fancy legal terms”, abuse of the legal process, malicious prosecution, “scienter”, negligence per se, consumer service fraud, and obstruction of justice;
This Court’s order on Monday, November 29, 2007 by Judge Kenneth Popejoy, based on “improper use of language and fancy legal terms” which is so deficient as to require a Judicial Review for Reconsideration pursuant to legal, constitutional grounds.
Defendants hereby object to the Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief in this petition to redress grievances as victims of crime. Consequently, assertion by the Defendants of Lombard homeowners’ right to repair is protected under the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution and Sections 2 and 15 of the Bill of Rights of the Illinois Constitution (Ill. Const. 1979, art. I, §§2,15) which upon review supports the constitutionality of a statute de novo (Miller v. Rosenberg, 196 Ill. 2d 50, 57 (2001).
Defendants hereby reinstate Combined §2-615 Motion to Dismiss and §2-619 Motion to Strike the Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 137, as noted.
In conclusion, Defendants have reinstated and re-submitted a Second Amended Response to the Verified Complaint in this Motion for Objection to Demolition and Injunctive Relief, thus presenting valid constitutional arguments for historical preservation and restoration, remodeling, and repair construction of the Lombard Historical Brick Bungalow owned by the Hung Family, at the expense of the Plaintiff, also known as the Village of Lombard, et al., All Employees, accountable and liable for all damages, losses, and disrepair to the subject property as a direct cause of action, in access to crime by the Lombard Police Department.
WHEREBY, Defendants pray for remedy and relief to sustain this Motion for Objection to the Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief, based upon constitutional grounds, as noted, and proposed plans for restoration and historical preservation of Lombard real estate property at cost by Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Defendants also pray to sustain Combined §2-615 Motion to Dismiss and §2-619 Motion to Strike the Verified Complaint for Demolition and for Injunctive Relief, upon judicial review for reconsideration with justice, equity, and fairness, under God. Defendants petition for additional relief and financial remedy as this Court deems just, fair, and equitable due to family tragedy, hardship, and poverty as victims of crime, under the Constitution of the United States of America and the State of Illinois Constitution, Bill of Rights, with justice, under God.
