Laws aren't made by courts. What are you talking about?
A court gets its power from a lawmaking body, such as a parliament.
The definition is obviously referring to a court that isn't legitimate, i.e., illegal.

By definition, an illegal court is unfair. Would you think it's fair to be tried in the UK by a court that wasn't given its authority by parliament?

See above- it's the fact that the court itself is illegitimate that makes the punishment unfair.
This is getting a bit boring now tbh. I'm just gonna accept that you will never admit you were wrong and leave it at that.
