Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger

The real Dave Is in the crowd at the football game. Bottom right.

A 'cease and desist' are not legal proceedings. They are also a civil matter, not a criminal one. In the film, Dave is having to appeal it in a criminal trial, when it is actually for those who are enacting the 'cease and desist' to take action to enforce it in a civil trial.

And, when entering the court, it was marked as a 'Magistrate's Court' but the presiding judge was dressed as a crown or high court judge and was not a magistrate, of which, there would normally be three.

Finally, judges in the UK do not use (or even have) gavels.
