Firstly, As I am not a ruling lord (in regard to this court) Milord is not a proper title of address for myself.Jacobus Loki wrote:Milord Arbiter
As was brought to our attention regarding the economic bill, this bill (the cease annexations bill) was open for much longer than four days, and is most likely in violation. The Preator has been informed.
(Not to mention the Dead Guy voting on it.)
No that I'm after another constitutional crisis or anything. Really.
Maybe His Niftiness could decree it, before all of the crazed annexationistsacting on prior authority, go and jerk chains that mayhap should not be jerked?
(Darn, acting all responsible. Phooey!)

As I and precedent see it, a bill going past the 4 day period, while a technical violation, and a problem to be addressed, is not sufficiently severe to warrant action on the part of the Imperial Judex. I will allow the Landsraad and the Prætor to address the issue without my interference.
The vote of the Dead Duke, does not constitute a violation, or even a problem in Landsraad Procedure, nor a Charter Issue (No such thing as Constitution in Shireroth btw) The vote was cast by a valid duke, at a valid time. If a new duke was instated, and voted again, it would replace the previous vote.
As I see it, the violation is minor enough, and in light of historical precedent, on is own not severe enough to require the Landsraad to reexamine it.
