Link to Trial

Verdict:

For one count of 600.01 Violation of the Bill of Rights or Constitution, I find Cinzar guilty. Cinzar is to serve no exile pearl nor prison pearl time. However, I do order the following reparations to be given out no later than 10 days from the issuing of this verdict.

Reparations:

• I order Cinzar to pay either RasionRulings or Vapin 20 diamonds in game. If Cinzar wishes, they may place a dropchest under unclaimed land in Mount Augusta and send RasionRulings or Vapin coordinates to the dropchest over reddit.

• I order Cinzar to remove the bank from the plot in question.

Some may argue that the charges would better fit under griefing, however, in this case I believe Cinzar did not build the bank with the explicit intention of destruction or disruption, but rather fully believed the plot to be theirs in a misunderstanding of the law. Nonetheless, they violated how Mount Augusta's property system works, and therefore I must find them guilty.

I would like the defendant to understand why I found them guilty. It is first and foremost because I found the dereliction to be denied. As per the Constitution, anyone can deny the dereliction to render it denied. Because the dereliction was denied by the owner, and because a judge did not rule on it, and because Pinkertown owned the land under the plot (N.b. In Augustan law, property extends from bedrock to skylimit) the entirety of the property remained Pinkertown's. I do understand why one could say the land is undeveloped. This land, did appear in a way undeveloped to me, as the only substantial changes to it were in the ground type and the fact that it was reinforced. In fact, I almost am inclined to argue that the land shouldn't have been considered property in the first place. Yet, I know the other two judges that serve this court do uphold claiming mechanisms for/on unused land, and I respect their opinion, which is the majority opinion of the court system. If one would want to consider the plot in question as undeveloped, they should better define what constitutes as developed by amending the Constitution's property section.

Thank you, glory to Augusta.
