Declare Meads "Obiter Dictum", and you are done.
When you hear the word "Meads" in court, OBJECT!
"OBJECTION! Obiter Dictum"!
The follow up with, "THERE IS A QUESTION BEFORE THE COURT, TO WHICH I REQUIRE AN ANSWER", because they should ONLY raise Meads with the QUESTIONS you ask. Make a DECLARATION (like Meads did) and "Obiter Dictum" is irrelevant.
