[LEGAL QUESTION] Actions of the Chair
#4

I just realised something.

In the High Court's previous ruling on Contradictory Resolutions, we stated that

"As the Chair is responsible for the passage of legislation, in this case contradictory or otherwise, personal discretion or executive policy should not apply as this may obstruct the passage of legislation, thus preventing the Chair from fulfilling legal obligations in the discharge and execution of his duties."

However, in delaying the voting of the Parole legislation, Unibot was exercising personal discretion, and it was logical, it was common sense. We should perhaps provide an amendment to our previous ruling something to the effect of "The Chair may exercise personal discretion in the movement of legislation where appropriate. However, it is maintained that all legislation that has been motioned and seconded must be voted upon, unless withdrawn by the drafter, or wherein new rules have been introduced in the Assembly that result in the change of circumstances."
