Famously, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and this is normally used to justify prosecuting those who didn't know they were breaking the law.

But it can also be used against those who try to enforce 'laws' that don't exist. You can have them for false imprisonment and indeed possibly assault. And indeed unlawful dismissal (some of the teacher stories). It might be worth trying...

In the USA there's the ACLU; I don't know of similar organizations elsewhere but I assume they exist.
