I would prefer a more general statement of principle:
While the ultimate time limit is 200 days, it is unfair
(and thus generally deserving of discharge) to initiate a
case when the information required to initiate the case
(both facts and interpretation of law) has been fully and
generally available for 30 days or more.
While a judge could set this precedent anyway, perhaps it's better
to legislate it? Before I attempt it, any comments (on N<>30 days
or other questions)?
