You need to do some reading on the sociology of law perhaps.

Putting your case in a way which makes sense to you as an untrained lawyer and putting it in the format which a judge wants to hear (procedurally correct and focused on the legal issues) are two different things. Indeed this was raised in the Moore v BWB case by Mummery in http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2013/73.html

Still, it's touching that you have such a positive view of our justice system. I am a bit more jaundiced, having been an observer of it for some decades.

I have just read the link to the case you quote.

It is interesting to note that two oral hearing were arranged where the appellant-who was not legally trained- was assisted in his appeal by the Appeal Judge in matters of procedure and terminology.

Rather short circuits your argument......................................

So, how many weeks have you been in the Nottingham area? Where were you last summer?

If the answer is that over the last 12 months you've boated from, for example, London to Manchester via say Birmingham and then back down to Nottingham where last month you fell ill and in recent weeks you haven't been able to move due to flooding then you are being hard done by

If, as I suspect is actually the truth, you've been lurking around the Nottingham area for months or even years and haven't gone more than 10 or 20 miles in any direction moving on only when approached by CART staff and then only far enough to escape attention for another week or two then I'm sorry but you're not continuously cruising
 
I am going to interject a humorous interlude which actually shows how far some boaters go to avoid detection.

IIRC it was a TV programme about the canals. A lady and her Daughter, two dogs and a 40 footish boat were being moved on fairly frequently around Braunston/Rugby area.

She had one side of the boat painted red with yellow trim lines, the other side green with red trim lines.

Every couple of weeks she would motor to the local winding hole, turn it around and when she got back-hey presto-different boat.

Clever stuff.............

You should answer the question that Erbas asked.

I suspect that you are using the floods as an excuse. I simply don't believe that they would suddenly turn up in the middle of some floods and say "You've been here for 15 days. Move on"

How long have you been lurking around Nottingham?
 
If it wasn't for the previous thread started by "Sixtimes" about taking his boat to Watchet because that's where his girlfriend lives I'd presume he's one of the humorists hereabouts having a laugh.

Sixtimes, if you're not a troll (and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on that) then the simple fact is that whether you understand it or not and whether you accept it or not Newark - Nottingham - Loughborough does not constitute continuous cruising ergo CART have quite reasonably taken action against you

Further, you obviously have been misinformed and/or ill advised because CART are not obliged to offer you a mooring, either residental or otherwise. CART are not responsible for you or your welfare and if you cannot comply with the rules for continuous cruising you need to make alternative arrangements for your accomodation

I have to advise you that it is extremely unlikely that you will find a legitimate residential mooring available in the Nottingham area (or anywhere else on the Inland Waterways). If by some miracle you find one or one is offered to you it'll likely be a good few thousand a year to rent and on a strictly short term tenancy.

If you're a troll, ha ha good one <sigh>

Q1. How long have you been living aboard?

Q2. Have you ever travelled beyond the non-tidal River Trent and the Soar Navigation?

Everything you have posted so far leads me to conclude that you are, in fact, exactly the profile of illegal liveaboard that ought to be removed from the waterways. Prove that conclusion wrong and I shall happily change my mind
