The Long Arm of the Law Prime Dictate (47PD03)

WHEREAS it has become apparent that the territorial jurisdiction section of the Criminal Code is inadequate to address the circumstances of our geographically-distributed citizenry,

THEREFORE section A.3 of el Lexhatx is amended to add the following language:

In addition to the grounds for jurisdiction stated in section 939.03 of the Criminal Code, a person is subject to prosecution and punishment under the law of this state when:

3.1 The person commits a crime and the person and the victim of the crime are both Talossan citizens at the time of the offence.

3.2 The person is a Talossan citizen at the time of the offence who commits a crime defined in Chapter 946 of the Criminal Code (crimes against government and its administration), when the affected government is that of the Kingdom of Talossa or one of its subdivisions.

Authorship credits to Sir Cresti, of course.

I hope that this is swiftly affirmed by His Majesty, and I am grateful to the Seneschal for making this decree.

[Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN]

What effect will this have on Case 14-06, though?

None. The defence has already waived territorial jurisdiction under Criminal Code 939.03. Well, defendant la Mha has, at least. Can't speak for defendant Asmourescu.

El Regeu en volt, most gladly.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

I have updated the law to reflect this PD.
