Ruling name Date issued Vote Summary of ruling
#1 (Ministerial Policy Application) 3 July 2019 Supported by Auven, Llorens, and Morvan.
  • Determined that Ministers may apply relevant policy as legislated by the General Assembly, rather than the General Assembly being required to vote on the application of each policy
  • Initiated by a dispute over Minister of Foreign Affairs Hecknamistan's decision to close the embassy with The Verusation Federation without consulting the General Assembly, which was deemed legal
#2 (Public Legislative Voting) 6 July 2019 Supported by Auven, Llorens, and Morvan.
  • Determined that the status quo practice of the General Assembly voting in a private channel and releasing the vote outcome publicly satisfied the requirement for all votes to be "viewable to the public"
