Gratuitous:

Some players have argued that the original CFJ is not about actions, this one 
unambiguously is. Since the game impact of the CFJ rulings would be different, 
I don't think it can be trivially determined, nor is it IRRELEVANT. 

Additionally, someone has now attempted to perform the described action and 
this CFJ is now directly relevant to gamestate. Another reason to not rule 
IRRELEVANT.

Well, let's test this. I become a party to the contract. For each coin
currently in R. Lee's possession (I believe 30, but there isn't an
up-to-date Treasuror's report), I transfer it to myself, then for each
coin, if the previous action has succeeded, I transfer it to G.

Gratuitous:

R. Lee emself admits that the first CFJ is basically identical to CFJ
3828. I believe this means it is IRRELEVANT because the case "can be
trivially determined from the outcome of another [...] judicial case
that was not itself judged IRRELEVANT".
