RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Belschaft - 12-20-2020

It's justiciable.


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Kris Kringle - 12-20-2020

I concur. The question is interesting and it does seem justiciable.


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Belschaft - 12-20-2020

I'm happy to take point on this one.


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Nat - 12-20-2020

I agree it is justiciable.


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Griffindor - 12-20-2020

Just to round out the vote, I too agree that it is justiciable.


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Kris Kringle - 12-20-2020

With 4-0, the question is deemed justiciable. I’m happy to let Belschaft be presiding, and since Nat and Griffindor are already handling a case I could be secondary, if there are no objections.


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Griffindor - 12-21-2020

None with me; have fun!


RE: [2014.HQ] Special Election Cut-Off Date - Belschaft - 12-21-2020

I'll need you to explain your case coding system in that case.

  • H: the case is being handled by the High Court, as opposed to the Supreme Court (S) or the Ministry of Justice (M).
