[Scribe of Abbavilla] Notice of conflict

[Magniloqueu Épiqeu da Lhiun]

Scribery of Abbavilla
The Scribe

Esteemed members of the Ziu,

the Scribery of Abbavilla has the displeasure of informing the honourable members of the Ziu that

50RZ12 (the 50th Cosa Budget Act)

has an error, which bars me from taking action, even though it is passed. It partly reads,

FURTHERMORE, Lex.2.8.2.3.1. which currently reads:

2.8.2.3.1 Current Token Design. The first issue of Talossan collectable tokens ("coins") shall have, on the obverse, the Chinese character "ben" upon a shield, with a crown above the shield; above the crown shall be the curved inscription "REGIPÄTS TALOSSÁN", and below the shield shall be the curved inscription of the year of issue (both the Common Era in Arabic numerals and the year of the Kingdom of Talossa in Roman numerals). On the reverse shall be an image of a dandelion, a large "ℓ1", and the inscription "VIENS LUÏÇ".

is amended to read:

2.8.2.3.1 Current Token Design. The first issue of Talossan collectable tokens ("coins") shall have, on the obverse, the Chinese character "ben" upon a shield, with a crown above the shield; above the crown shall be the curved inscription "REGIPÄTS TALOSSÁN", and below the shield shall be the curved inscription of the year of issue (both the Common Era in Arabic numerals and the year of the Kingdom of Talossa in Roman numerals). On the reverse shall be an image to be determined by the Royal Bank and Post representative of some aspect of Talossan culture, a large "ℓ" with an amount representing the coin denomination being minted, and an inscription of the denomination of the coin in the Talossan language.

(Emphasis added.)
While it may be clear from context that Section D is alluded to (cf. the WHEREAS section), the specific mention of Lex(h)., with a failure to mention the title, means that I must not incur the section whereunto it should refer. I cannot, thus, amend El Lexhatx accordingly.

I therefore petition the Members of Ziu to clarify 50RZ12 by an Act of the Ziu, or to request that the Prime Minister issue a Prime Dictate clarifying the matter.

Done under my hand and seal, as from Abbavilla, on this (Easter) Sunday, the 16^th of April, in the year 2017 of the Common Era, which is the XXXVIII. of Talossa’s Independence.

Terribly sorry for the offensive size of the Scribery insignia. It will not shrink.

[Munditenens Tresplet]

PD time, Lüc da Schir.

(Note to the Scribe, I will say that isn't necessary to make a whole big legal post regarding these things, esp. on Ziu board. I made conflict posts on Witt board in much more informal fashion, also alerted PM outside of Witt...though for something as small as this, I would have simply messaged Luc. I totally understand the frustration, however.)

[Magniloqueu Épiqeu da Lhiun]

Thank you for your input, S:reu Tresplet. It is appreciated. Allow me to explain, however, why I chose to do it publicly:

1) The statutes are a very delicate matter in any country. Transparency is of the utmost importance. Therefore, I want to keep the Ziu informed as much as I can.

2) Writing bills is not an easy job, especially if it amends existing statute. Cross-references, renumbering, false numbering, etc. Everything must be considered. Raising awareness of what can go wrong is also an objective of making these public.

3) The Scribery seems to be very detached from everything. I know that, while I owe the Ziu no running commentary, I hope that actually getting in touch with legislators, and showing them what the job of the Scribe actually involves, will make legislators appreciate, and understand what the Scribery does ‘behind the scenes’.

[Lüc da Schir]

Noted. PD coming ideally tomorrow morning, or afternoon at most.
