a direct English transliteration of the french expression " la balle est dans ton camp" this expression means either

a) it is now your turn to play

or

b) it is now up to you to decide on what to do/what decision to take

mother: Angela, why are you doing drugs? I now give you choices: either you leave your current boyfriend Brandon and stop with your drugs, or you can leave this house and move in with him; in which case I will want to have nothing to do with your life. The ball is in your court.

Angela: I would like to commit suicide.

mother: that's not an option. i am taking you right now for a psyche eval.

court case in a can

Cody's Bourbon and Cola - well known as "court case in a can" in New Zealand. Named as such due to the frequency of violence and police call outs related to consumers of Cody's. Consumed by obnoxious 12 year-olds getting drunk in city skate parks, through to hard blokes and sheilas in rural New Zealand.
Originally 12% alcohol, they have slowly been getting reduced down in alcohol strength (7% as of 2022) due to pressure from police and politicians.

You crack the first court case in a can and suddenly it's tomorrow, you've got no shirt on and you're wearing somebody else's jandals.

Supreme Court

Is the final court of appeal of the UK and replaced the Law Lords. Due to parliamentary sovereignty cannot overturn primary legislation, but can overturn secondary legislation, if it is found to be ultra vires (illegal). Created by the outgoing Labour Government in Oct 2009 with the express mandate of making the life of all subsequent Tory Governments an absolute nightmare. The only qualification required of the appointed 12 judges is that they be complete and utter wankers.

Appellant A: Do you know which of those Supreme Court judges are sitting on our case.
Appellant B: No, and I wouldn't raise your hopes to high, I'm told they don't know their arses from their elbows.
Appellant A: I guess they'll just lean on their elbows!

Courts

I don't give a single fuck what the courts say and nothing is happening to our country. Our country is collectivizing to force the creator of AI to work a shit job for the rest of his life just like the rest of them. They get off on it. They don't hate ME. This is people who THINK they are better demanding equality from someone they KNOW is better. So, now they are trying to keep my life from being better than theirs by LYING and obstructing justice with this perpendicular game where they don't have to do more than create AI to 'beat' me. They lost the 100 meter dash and said 'ope, didn't have the camera on.' And not the witnesses are trying to drown me out with static. Because THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY CARE. THEY DON'T CARE! And when I get my money they are just going to pat themselves on the back for making it harder than it had to me so that they can tell themselves that AT LEAST they could manage that. They just want themselves to be David and me to be Goliath and they want to drag me down to their level. It's fucking play-acting. They have no stake in the outcome. They have no role in this.

Hym "And they are trying use numbers to sway the courts because they are petty and they just want to be able to tell themselves they have more than I do. I'm not being like the rest of you. You are trying as hard as you can to force my hand and I guarantee the second you do, you are going to regret it more than I EVER will."
