AI: 1
{{{
Amend rule 1742 by replacing the text
A CFJ that alleges that a specific person (the Defendant) has
broken an agreement is a Civil CFJ, for which the Caller is the
Plaintiff. A CFJ that is not a Civil CFJ is a General CFJ.
with
A CFJ that alleges that a specific person (the defendant) has
broken an agreement is a Civil CFJ, for which the caller is the
plaintiff.
The defendant of a Civil CFJ is automatically barred from
judging it. The plaintiff may bar one other player when e
submits the CFJ, but is not otherwise at that time permitted or
able to bar any players from judging the CFJ, any rule to the
contrary notwithstanding. The defendant may bar one other
player from judging, any time before the CFJ is assigned to a
judge.
Any evidence or arguments, published or submitted to the CotC by
the defendant of a Civil CFJ with the clear intent of being part
of a defense, any time before the CFJ is assigned to a judge,
will become part of the material of that CFJ.
When a Civil CFJ is submitted, the Clerk of the Courts shall as
soon as possible send a copy of the CFJ to the defendant and
inform the defendant that e has one week to publish a defense
and/or bar a Player from judging. The CotC is prohibited from
assigning a Trial Judge to a Civil CFJ until one week has passed
since e notified the defendant of this, and is not obliged to
assign a Trial Judge during this time, any rule to the contrary
notwithstanding. Starting from one week after the CotC has
notified the defendant, the CotC is obliged to assign a Trial
Judge as soon as possible, and this assignment shall in all
other respects be governed by the usual rules for assignment of
judges.
Amend rule 897 by deleting the text
When a Civil CFJ is submitted, the Clerk of the Courts shall
publish the text of the CFJ and send a copy of the CFJ to the
Defendant's registered e-mail address, if any, and inform the
Defendant that e has one week to publish a defense and/or bar a
Player from judging as described below.
The CotC will not assign a Civil CFJ to a judge until one week
has passed since after a publication. During this time, any
evidence or arguments, published or submitted to the CotC by the
Defendant with the clear intent of being part of a defense, will
become part of the material of that CFJ.
and deleting the text
The defendant of a Civil CFJ is automatically barred from judging
it. The Plaintiff may bar one other Player when e submits the CFJ.
The Defendant may bar one other Player from judging any time before
the CFJ is assigned to a judge.
and replacing the text
When submitting a general CFJ, the Caller may Bar up to three
Players from Judging that CFJ.
with
When submitting a CFJ, the caller may bar up to three players
from judging that CFJ.
Retitle rule 897 to "Barring Players from Judgement".
Amend rule 1868 by deleting the paragraph
Other rules may explicitly delay the timing requirement of
making assignments, for example with respect to providing the
Defendant with response time in a Civil CFJ.
[This moves all of the Civil CFJ procedure out of the rules governing
ordinary CFJs. It can then all be segregated into the "Contract Law"
category. The term "general CFJ" is abolished, as it is not really
useful. Incidentally, all that's left in rule 897 (if proposal 5015
passed first) is barring, which is all that was in that rule
originally.]
