Retroactive vote changes on Legislator Removals
#4

Your honour,

Precedent and best-practice indicates that the loss of Legislator status occurs when the Chair certifies such and effects the change, not at the exact moment when they would have ceased to qualify for such status. Should the Chair discover Legislators who would have lost such status in an earlier activity check, but are now voting and thus maintaining it, it would be unreasonable and unjust for them to lose it, as well as lacking in pragmatism.

Further, the court should consider the harm caused by the potential administrative and legal confusion of retroactively nullifying individual votes after the fact. As such, 
amicus believe that the burden here must lie with the Chair and where they fail to remove a Legislator's status correctly this should have no penalties on the Legislator in question.
