Gerajan Decrees of Malivia. In this book, all laws and regulations that are made in direct relation to the Gerajan religion, the Geraja officials, or Malivia in its nature as a Gerajan state, even if they were to meet the description of 1. will be written. 6b. If laws were to be written into the Malivian Book of Amendmends, that meet the description of 6., they shall only be recorded in the Gerajan Decrees of Malivia. 7. The Constitution of Malivia.

| Message | We urge the opposition to cite laws meeting the description of §3 (and the fate descripted within this paragraph), so that they can be re-instated without further ado. |
| Date | 09:57:10, September 09, 2010 CET | From | Konservative Partei Malivia | To | Debating the Official Laws of Malivia Act |
| Message | This dear collegues is a huge mistake! This law will hurt the rights of the opposition and will destoy liberlism in this country. May I ask the government wheter it plans a dictatorship of the law.We in Malivia made it to the top without a written law. |
| Date | 10:10:12, September 09, 2010 CET | From | Children of the Wrath | To | Debating the Official Laws of Malivia Act |
| Message | We honestly don't see how this law could hurt the opposition's rights. And we don't see how liberalism is bound to a case law system. We don't see the benefits of a case law at all, and we find it necessary, especially for the freedom of the people, that written law is introduced and hence maintained as the only legal form of law. Sagen Sie, wo gibt es mehr Rechtssicherheit, wo kann man sich eher darauf verlassen, dass gleiche Fälle gleich beurteilt werden - in einem System, in dem Urteile jederzeit "overruled" werden können, oder in einem System, in dem man im Gesetzbuch nachschauen kann? |

| Message | In Einem System das seit Jahrhunderten in unserem Land Anwendung findet!Der oberste Gerichtshof fällt Urteile die nicht mehr durch eine höhere Instanz aufgehoben werden können.Ich hoffe ich muss das Ihnen nicht erzählen.(*opposition laughs*) And May i read you own law text: When this law comes into effect, all laws that don't use pre-formulated text existing in Malivia until the day this law comes into effect, will be null and void. This regulates the law and destoys our exsisting laws. And let's talk also about the number of books.They are too many.This only produces beaucracy and costs. Al in all this reform is big mistake and destoys th tradition of our country. |

| Message | Dass die Urteile des Obersten Gerichtshofes nicht mehr aufgehoben werden können, da er die letzte Instanz ist, wird sich auch durch dieses Gesetz nicht ändern. Was das mit Rechtssicherheit zu tun hat, ist uns nicht ersichtlich. Im vorherrschenden System, um zu wissen, wie ein bestimmter Rechtsstreit ausgehen wird, müssen sich die Parteien durch unmengen von Gerichtsakten durchwühlen. Durch Gesetzbücher wird dies vereinfacht. 7 Gesetzbücher sind sehr wenig. Mehr Bürokratie bedeutet mehr Arbeitsplätze. May we read our own law text further: It will be possible for laws that have become null and void by §3, to be reinstated without having to be sanctioned by the Parliament. Which laws will become reinstated, is for the Minister of Justice to decide. So if there is some tradition you feel is worthy keeping, please point it out. |

| Message | Sie geben damit einer Königrechte, nämlich das Recht des Parlaments Gesetze für ungültig zu erklären aus der Hand und übergeben es der Exekutiven. Das Wort der Exekutiven steht über dem des Parlaments. Aber das das ihre Vorstellung von Demokratie ist, finde ich keineswegs besonders. Hoffen wir darauf, dass die Sprengung der Gewaltenteilung ein Ende findet. |
| Date | 13:22:00, September 09, 2010 CET | From | Children of the Wrath | To | Debating the Official Laws of Malivia Act |
| Message | Sie irren sich. Mit der Befürwortung dieses Gesetzes erklärt das Parlament die vorherigen Gesetze für ungültig, nicht der Minister. Lesen Sie doch bitte das nächste Mal den Gesetzestext, bevor Sie im Parlament erscheinen! |
| Date | 20:16:14, September 09, 2010 CET | From | Konservative Partei Malivia | To | Debating the Official Laws of Malivia Act |
| Message | It will be possible for laws that have become null and void by §3, to be reinstated without having to be sanctioned by the Parliament. Which laws will become reinstated, is for the Minister of Justice to decide. Ich hoffe Sie beherrschen ihre eigenen Gesetzte.Sie geben ihrem Justizminister freie Hand für das willkürliche wiedereinsetzten von Gesetzten. |
| Date | 18:02:04, September 10, 2010 CET | From | Children of the Wrath | To | Debating the Official Laws of Malivia Act |
| Message | Theoretisch, ja. Wir werden allerdings nur von der Opposition vorgeschlagenen Gesetze wiedereinsetzen. OOC: Dieses Gesetz ist rein organisatorisch gemeint, und soll einer Sammlung von Gesetzen dienen, die nicht nur aus automatisiertem Text bestehen. Das wäre insofern praktisch, als dass man in Zukunft einfach nur in diese Gesetzbücher schauen müsste, und nicht die ganzen bisher beschlossenen Gesetze durchsuchen müsste, um solche Gesetze zu finden. Wenn. z.B. eine Partei ein Gesetz durchbrächte, in dem nur steht, wie die malivianischen Gerichtshöfe genau heißen, dann müsste man, ohne dass diese Gesetze irgendwo gesammelt werden, als neue Partei ewig nach so einem Gesetz suchen, oder es würde einfach irgendwann vergessen werden. Das ist keineswegs ein Versuch, die bisherigen solchen Gesetze einfach beiseite zu schaffen, daher die Bitte an die Opposition, Gesetze aufzuzeigen, die erhalten bleiben sollen. |
