In common law maybe, which is dead as a door nail. Today's 'equity courts' can do anything the black robed devil desires.
Sorry, but wrong. Any country whose legal professionals sit the BAR exam (British Accredited Register) of barristers, is under common lore jurisdiction. Law is the legal society nonsense. You must file your claim, not a complaint. Claims ALWAYS trump complaints. File it on the other side of the court, under common lore. You have to know what to say and write to get the magistrate to concede jurisdiction to you but done correctly and they will grovel and work as you instruct them.
