    1962.43 is the Act most abused by BW. Used in conjunction with the nebulously worded 14 day rule (1995.17.3.c.ii), BW interpret these Acts as giving them powers over and above other primary legislation, and this has to be challenged in a Court of Law where all other forms of negotiation and complaint have failed. Civil liberties are, I believe, worth protecting.
