Bill: Slander Law Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Ducal Delegation
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2200
Description[?]:
Important people with great reputations like His Grace need legal protection against slander to protect them from being taken advantage of by oikish peasants, but why does everyone else need this protection? Far too much court time is being spent on arbitrating petty personal feuds between individuals of the utmost insignificance, when the legal resources could be far better spent in bringing real criminals to justice. We need to move away from this litigation culture! Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |

Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
