I'm not so sure. "Take it to equity!" prevents violations from being against R1742. However, it could still be a prosecutable criminal offense for members to fail in their devolved responsibilities (e.g. a violation against R2145 instead, and a higher-power rule at that). That's an entirely different avenue I hadn't thought about. This would be a desired feature: limiting criminal claims w.r.t to general contracts, but holding partnership responsibilities to a higher standard. -Goethe
