A judge who has no jurisdiction or authority over a case cannot validly impose an extended restraint order or any binding order on a claimant, - an order issued by a court lacking subject-matter or personal jurisdiction is considered void ab initio (void from the beginning) and is a legal nullity, - it has no legal effect. 

Background (LUXURY TRAP/ Lyxfällan)
In February 2006, I, Derek Banner, founder of BUMP Productions, pitched the TV format Luxury Trap to Metronome (later acquired by the Banijay Group), TV3 Denmark, and I discussed the format with Friday TV. Luxury Trap was designed as a financial reality TV show to help individuals in Denmark manage their spiraling debts due to overspending and living beyond their means, with expert financial guidance.

The format was later adapted for Swedish television, under the title Lyxfällan (which translates to Luxury Trap), and has since been replicated in other countries, including Norway (Luksusfellen) and Denmark (Luksusfælden). This highly successful format, alongside my other work, such as Minute To Win It (also pitched to Friday TV), has become internationally recognized and exploited by major networks, including NBCUniversal.

However, despite the extensive success and exploitation of these formats, BUMP Productions has yet to receive any royalties or proper compensation for the intellectual property rights associated with Luxury Trap and Minute To Win It from Metronome, TV3, and related parties.

The Legal Struggle
Since the initial airing of Lyxfällan in November 2006, I have faced ongoing legal challenges to secure fair compensation for the exploitation of Luxury Trap. Over the past 15 years, I have uncovered a systematic fraud scheme orchestrated by Metronome's legal team and their associates. This deception not only pertains to Luxury Trap but also involves Minute To Win It, which was later sold by Friday TV (a Metronome and Banijay's subsidiary) to NBCUniversal and aired in over 50 countries. Jock Millgardh, co-founder of Friday TV, to whom I pitched the Minute To Win It format at a pitch-meeting in Stockholm and who sold it to NBCUniversal died by suicide after issuing a false witness statement to the court and perjured himself, he acted upon advice by Metronome's lawyers.

Despite having compelling evidence of these deceptive practices, the case has been obstructed by individuals and institutions with vested interests in protecting the status quo. Key evidence of perjury and corroborating witness statement has been ignored or suppressed by lawyers and by judges who had no jurisdiction or authority over the matter, and Metronome’s legal teams in Sweden and UK have used this to shield themselves from accountability.

Commitment to Justice
I am committed to seeking the truth and securing justice for BUMP Productions. Our company has substantial, undeniable evidence supporting our claims of intellectual property theft, fraudulent legal actions, and unfair business practices. While the legal battle has been prolonged and arduous, we are resolute in our pursuit of justice.

This case is not just about royalties - it is about ensuring that creators are properly recognized and compensated for their intellectual property. No individual or company should be allowed to profit from another's hard work and creativity through fraud and deceit.

Moving Forward
BUMP Productions will continue to take legal action and explore all available avenues to hold Metronome, TV3, and associated parties accountable for their actions. We are confident that with the right legal framework and public support, the truth will come to light, and justice will be served.

We remain committed to protecting the rights of creators and ensuring that our intellectual property is treated with the respect it deserves.

UNADDRESSED EXHIBITS (MINUTE TO WIN IT)

Explicitly ignored damning evidence and imposition of a baseless and unfounded restraining order by a judge who lacks jurisdiction or authority in the case to shield prominent law firms and insurance companies from an undisputed multi-million pound professional indemnity debt.

Acting to shield parties from a debt without authority is a "dishonest" abuse of power and an act of Misconduct in Public Office (MiPO) - a serious common law offence.

Section 10 of the Application Notice dated 29 May 2025 - which The Claimant PAID FOR, SEALED by the court, AND PUT BEFORE THE JUDGE, MR JUSTICE MELLOR.

RECEIPT - PAYMENT CONFIRMATION - 29 MAY 025 APPLICATION NOTICE. PROOF THAT MR JUSTICE MELLOR ISSUED A FALSE STATEMENT OF FACT IN HIS COURT RULING

JUDGE SWAP SCHEME: A judge who has no jurisdiction or authority over a case cannot validly impose an extended restraint order or any binding order on a claimant, and an order issued by a court lacking subject-matter or personal jurisdiction is considered void ab initio (void from the beginning) and is a legal nullity, - it has no legal effect. 

The NOTICE OF HEARING below DATED 8 DECEMBER 2023 clearly states that the case hearing was scheduled BEFORE MASTER McQUAIL, NOT Mr Justice Mellor or Deputy Master Linwood, rendering all subsequent orders void ab initio, - there was never an announcement of change of jurisdiction or judge. MR JUSTICE MELLOR, KNOWING HE HAS NO JURISDICTION OR AUTHORITY TO DECIDE ON THE MATTER, CHOOSES TO IGNORE THIS UNDENIABLE COURT NOTICE AND REFUSES TO SET THE LINWOOD VOID ORDER ASIDE. INSTEAD, HE CHARACTERIZES THE CLAIMANT'S CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS (PROMINENT LAW FIRMS AND THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES) A "FANTASY', "CONSPIRACY THEORY". HIS ORDERS ARE VOID WITH NO LEGAL EFFECT.

PERJURY AND SUICIDE BY DEFENDANTS' KEY WITNESS. MR JUSTICE MELLOR, WITH NO JURISDICTION OR AUTHORITY TO DECIDE ON THE MATTER, EXPLICITLY IGNORES THIS UNDENIED TRAGIC FACT IN HIS RULING. INSTEAD, HE CHARACTERIZES THE CLAIMANT'S CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS (PROMINENT LAW FIRMS) A "FANTASY', "CONSPIRACY THEORY".

This is Jock Millgårdh:

He committed suicide after he issued a false witness statement to the court upon advice by law firm Wiggin LLP.

He stated in his witness statement below of 30 September 2016 that the meeting he held with me in November 2005 was ONLY about one idea, "Celebrity Birthday”:

However, below, in his email message to me of 5 September 2011, he and his CEO Estelle Bodén (von Schinkel) stated several ideas which we discussed at that meeting:

Why is the court avoiding this?
How is this "Totally Without Merit”?
Why did Deputy Master Linwood state in his judgment “No evidence of perjury was put before me” when he knew this was untrue?
How is such a factual and unaddressed tragic suicide of a key witness be labelled "Totally Without Merit"?

WITNESS STATEMENT CORROBORATING JOCK MILLGÅRDH'S PERJURY, WHICH MR JUSTICE MELLOR CHOOSES TO IGNORE. INSTEAD, WITH NO JURISDICTION OR AUTHORITY TO DECIDE ON THE MATTER, HE CHARACTERIZES THE CLAIMANT'S CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS (PROMINENT LAW FIRMS) A "FANTASY', "CONSPIRACY THEORY".

Below is the Witness Statement of Massimo Locci, who was present at my meeting with Jock Millgårdh, and he states nine ideas which were discussed, including "Minute Winner - you got one minute to win it." He corroborates Jock Millgårdh committed perjury.
Why is the court avoiding this? - How does this justify the court and Mr Justice Mellor labelling the Claimant's claim "Totally Without Merit”?
