Summary Judgement Service

What is the Summary Judgement Service?
As the Court’s case load increases, there is a need to ensure that the more important cases get expedited treatment, so that the region’s great questions are answered as swiftly as possible. To that effect, the Court is proud to introduce the Summary Judgement Service, a thread where legislators can ask the questions that truly matter and a Justice will deliver Summary Judgement on it as soon as possible.

How does the SJS work?
As a legislator, you can post here to ask the Court to rule on a question or review whether someone has committed a crime. If the request is justiciable, the Court will deliver an answer shortly. Since this a a summary judgement, there is little expectation of wait times for brief submissions or questioning: as soon as a case is admitted, it will be ruled on.

What questions can be asked?
If you want to ask a legal question, any topic, however informal or distant from the law, can be justiciable. Is cake better than pie? Justiciable. Does Roavin’s SOONTM have a formal definition? Justiciable. Should Seraph sing more? Definitely justiciable.

Similar rules apply for criminal cases. Does Roavin’s use of SOONTM violate the Criminal Code? Justiciable. Did Amerion engage in corruption for repeatedly offering cookies in return for survey answers? Justiciable. Is it theft when you grab the lampshade of someone who left the regional server? Justiciable.

Come and ask all those questions that need a quick answer. The Court will make sure to break some new ground as it solves the great mysteries of regional law.

Posts outside High Court venues should be taken as those of any other legislator.
I do not participate in the regional server, but I am happy to talk through instant messaging or on the forum.
