I has exceeded 24 hours
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
VERDICT
Lawanoesepr v. The Redmont Bar Association [2022] DCR 4
I. PLAINTIFF'S POSITION
1. The Modern Legal Board act (MLBA) says if 2/3 of voting lawyers agree, a councilor may be removed.
2. The chairman refused to let a vote happen to remove Aladeen unless the Plaintiff got 2 other lawyers that wanted the removal to happen.
3. The MLBA gives no requirements on how to call a vote, so a vote should be called and if 2/3 of the voting lawyer agree then you can remove someone.
II. DEFENDANT'S POSITION
1. The MLBA doesn't explicitly state a chairman has to put everything up for a vote.
2. Because the MLBA isn't clear, the chairman never broke any rules in the MLBA
3. There was no one else that supported Aladeen's removal, so it would have been unreasonable to put it up for a vote.
4.The MLBA states that the chairman is supposed to keep order in the RBA, and is allowed to amend or remove policies to make the RBA function smoother.
5. The original councilor for the RBA was AlexanderLove and he coauthored the MLBA, therefore his interpretation is correct.
6. If everything went to a vote, there would be many frivolous motions to remove people from leadership positions in the RBA.
III. THE COURT OPINION
1. Despite part of the Defense coauthoring the MLBA, it isn't up to them to interpret anything that isn't explicitly stated on the act of Congress.
2. However because there isn't clear writing that says the chairman must put everything to a vote, they don't have to.
3. In this case specifically the chairman has put forward reasonable requirements to put a motion to a vote, that the Plaintiff hasn't met.
4. These requirements aren't to prevent a vote from happening, it's to prevent any frivolous motions brought forth by any lawyer from being put to a vote.
IV. DECISION
1. Because the chairman is supposed to keep order, and the requirements that he stated were reasonable and meant to maintain order, I hereby rule in favor of the Defense.
The District Court thanks all involved in this long and chaotic case.
