Thoughts on the above, seems to me there is a prima facie case?
 
Suggestions on a Standby Hearing Officer? I would appoint Lord Dominator, but I got the impression they might run in the next regular judicial election too.

Edit: And yes on the prima facie case.

Maybe you can PM and ask?

Edit: if not Lord Dominator, perhaps Dreadton or Lord Lore?

With Dreadton serving as defense in another case, that seems like a conflict of interest (even if that is probably going to be resolved before). I have asked LD, will ask Lord Lore depending on LD's answer.
And I am OK with Wymondham as moderating justice. Go ahead, but don't make the same mistakes as me.

Sounds good. Let me know as soon as you hear back so I can open the trial.

Seems the Prosecution has withdrawn the charges, I have informed the defendants as such.
 
Just recieved the below TG from one of the defendants

Section 3.5: Pre-Sentencing Ejections and Bans
27. The Delegate may eject and/or ban a particular nation from the region pending criminal charges against them, or prior to the conclusion of an ongoing criminal trial in which they are the defendant, only when that nation poses a clear security threat and their removal is necessary for the protection of the region.
28. The Delegate must seek the approval of the Court for any such ejection or ban. Where possible, this approval must be sought prior to the nation's removal from the region. Otherwise, it must be sought within one day of the action.
29. If the ejection or ban is performed during a criminal trial against that nation, approval will be at the discretion of the justice moderating the trial. Otherwise, any single justice may approve or deny the Delegate's request.
30. Any nation ejected or banned under this section may file an appeal of the decision. These appeals may not be denied, and must be decided by the full court.
31. The Delegate must immediately provide any nation ejected or banned under this section with a link to the Courtroom and inform them of their right to file an appeal.
32. If criminal charges are not brought against a nation ejected or banned under this section, or if the criminal charges are rejected by the Court, or if the nation is not found Guilty at the conclusion of the trial, any ban against that nation which was imposed under this section must be revoked.

Technically 32 doesn't list the dropping of charges but I suspect the legislature did not imagine a scenario where charges would be dropped after an ejection/ban was made.

I'm also going to take a guess that 31 wasn't followed precisely in this case either. My question is, where do we go from here regarding the ejections and bans, especially given that the Northern Boys doesn't seem to have been unbanned despite me denying the Delegate's request for approval.

If the charges are dropped then the correct thing -- at least as I see it -- would be to post in the trial thread that the Court recognises that the charges are dropped and orders the bans (which were pending the trial) to be lifted? I'm quite puzzled and not really happy about it, but if the government won't prosecute then the bans can't stand. Alternatively the banned person would have the right to appeal, but when the government drops the charges, it shouldn't be necessary.
