# The Council is a gathering held in public and anyone who is not part of Council is allowed to observe and request to take part in Council. They are qualified as Visiting Members of the Council. The Lord High Chancellor can, at his/her discretion, allow to speak or remove from council any Visiting Member or apply any further regulatory decision at his discretion. Visiting Members are by principle barred from voting in Council, unless the matter would directly impact the Visiting Member, for which a token vote of agreement or opposition is awarded.<br />
# The Council will vote on all matters with a qualified majority. Exceptions to this are adaptations to the Internal Regulation and votes to oust a Council member. These go by a qualified two thirds majority. For the latter, at least half of the Council members need to be present in the first session. If such fails, the matter is moved to the following council meeting, where this requirement is discarded.<br />
# The Council agenda will be set in advance by the Lord High Chancellor. If no conclusion is reached on a given agenda matter in a session, the issue is put on the agenda of the following session. This can only occur once. If no conclusion is reached the second time, it is only eligible to be discussed again when the context has undergone dramatic alterations. The decision on the matter is made by the Lord High Chancellor.<br />
# Every Council member has the right to submit matters to the agenda of the Council. As does every Council member have the right to speak. Council members as specified in article 2 sub 1 - 6 have the right to vote in Council. Each member has an equal vote within the Council. The Lord High Chancellor maintains the right to table a matter when the Lord High Chancellor deems the matter to be in violation of the mores, rules of procedure, or the interest of the Royal Court.<br />
# The Lord High Chancellor presides over the Council. When the Council is in session, no one can speak unless spoken to. When desiring to speak, the Council member will step forward to indicate such. The Lord High Chancellor has the right to rescind voting rights from a Council member if that member is found to be in violation of the rules of procedure.<br />

<div>Members of the Court form the bulk of the Court, comprising of the general ranks to be found within the Court. No one rank has precedent over another, with each portfolio being considered equal to the other portfolios<br />
<br />
= Members of the Court =<br />
<br />
== Ambassador ==<br />
Ambassadors to the Court are individuals appointed or recognised by their home nation to represent their faction’s interests at Court, but also ensure the interests of individuals from their faction, residing within the Kingdom (e.g. a Dwarven Ambassador must ensure the protection of Dwarven individuals in the Kingdom, and that they are appropriately represented). Ambassadors generally do not have a vote, as votes generally refer to the workings of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and not their own faction, however, should a vote concern their faction, exceptions may be allowed. Regardless of voting, an Ambassador is always permitted to attend Committee and Council, and have a say in ongoing affairs, and are allowed voting rights in Committee.<br />
<br />
== Court Magus ==<br />
The Court Magi form the backbone of the Court’s cadré of magical specialists. It is the duty of the Court Magi to advise the Court on magical matters, as well as attending and aiding the Magical Affairs Committee’s endeavours, in whatever capacity. Court Magi have voting powers in Committee and at Court, and many of the Court Magi hail from the Stormwind Circle of Magi or the Kirin Tor, and so it is well known that the Court Magi are some of the most gifted magical scholars in the whole of the Eastern Kingdoms and beyond.<br />
<br />
== Knight ==<br />
The Knight’s of the Court are generally considered to be the enforcers and protectors of the Court and its interests. Comprising of some of the most chivalric and respectful men and women in the Kingdom, the Knight’s of the Court offer their expertise in a range of matters based on their individual specialisations, and are the epitome of honour and dignity. Knights have access to full voting rights within the Court.<br />
<br />
== Noble ==<br />
The Nobles of the Court are those men and women holding a hereditary title in the peerage of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and therefore are allowed to attend the Court representing their people and, by extension, the Kingdom as a whole. The Noble’s, as with the Knight’s, are able to offer a range of advice depending on whether or not they specialise in any particular areas, but in general, the Nobles are a reliable and staunch group of Courtiers.<br />
<br />
== Official ==<br />
Officials of the Court form the cadré of civil servants, assisting and aiding the Court in their day-to-day duties by providing expert advice in their field of expertise. Officials can range from a number of different subject areas and backgrounds, be it in public relations, culture, justice, general policy, intelligence or any other area in which the Court could benefit from specified advice. As Officials are not full members of the Court, being civil servants, they are therefore not entitled to a vote at Council, although may still participate in all of its debates, and can also attend Committee, where they are entitled to a vote.<br />
<br />
== Candidate ==<br />
Candidates of the Court are very new members of the Court that are yet to be officially inducted into the Court as a full ranking member. Candidates undergo a short trial period where they can become accustomed to the procedures and protocols of the Court, and can attend Committee meetings and Council sessions to familiarise themselves with current affairs. The Candidacy period allows Officers of the Court to see how the Candidate is progressing, and allows the Candidate to determine whether or not a move to the Court is the right thing for them. As Candidates are not considered official members of the Court, they are not allowed voting powers, but are still permitted to attend Council and Committee, and can still debate.</div>Nasiashttps://theroyalcourt.eu/index.php?title=Officers_of_the_Court&diff=1038Officers of the Court2024-04-06T13:49:18Z<p>Nasias: Created page with "The Court maintains a strict structure to ensure each new member of the Court is aware of what their progression (in terms of what purpose they can fulfil in the Court) in the Court may look like, and, as such, maintains a number of Elected posts that form the senior members of the Court, or the ‘Officers’ of the Court: = Officers of the Court = == The High Chancellor of the Royal Court == * Head of the Royal Court, Chief Officer of the Court * Head of the Executive..."</p>
<hr />
<div>The Court maintains a strict structure to ensure each new member of the Court is aware of what their progression (in terms of what purpose they can fulfil in the Court) in the Court may look like, and, as such, maintains a number of Elected posts that form the senior members of the Court, or the ‘Officers’ of the Court:<br />

<br />
An Officer of the Court differs from an Officer of the Council, as a Court Officer is an individual responsible for driving forward the day-to-day business of the Court as a whole, introducing and pushing through policy and legislation for the Court’s consideration. A Council Officer, however, is an administrative position specific to the Royal Council, responsible for ensuring the efficient and effective running of the Royal Council during sessions, and outside sessions.</div>Nasiashttps://theroyalcourt.eu/index.php?title=Court_Structure&diff=1037Court Structure2024-04-06T13:46:14Z<p>Nasias: </p>
<hr />
<div>His Majesty’s Royal Court is one of the principal governing bodies of the Kingdom of Stormwind and its Realms and Territories, tasked with overseeing and dispensing the Acts and Laws of the Realm, and maintaining principal responsibility for the general running of the Kingdom on a day-to-day basis.<br />
<br />
The Court is formed of both an Executive and a Legislative branch, retaining a particular responsibility for introducing, scrutinising, and voting in new legislation for the benefit of the Kingdom, with the Executive ensuring effective implementation and scrutiny of the legislation introduced.<br />
<br />
All members of the Court are a part of the legislative branch, with the powers to introduce potential policy areas, acts, projects and other areas of legislation that can be considered by the Court. Members of the Court, particularly newer members, are encouraged to both introduce new projects, and involve themselves in ongoing projects, that are either within their area of expertise and interest, or outside that.<br />
<br />
All members of the Court are considered representatives of the Crown and the Kingdom, and so are expected to act in a way that is consistent of the high position they hold - the Court engages and maintains relations with many organisations throughout the Kingdom and beyond, and so members are expected to have a strong mind for public relations, and be willing to reach out to groups throughout the Kingdom for whatever reason, in whatever capacity.<br />
<br />
Though the Court strives for the success of the Kingdom of Stormwind, through its close ties with the factions of the Alliance does the Court strive to strengthen and further the cause of the Grand Alliance in its entirety - the City of Stormwind is more diverse than ever, and the Court has adapted and changed to ensure the fair and accurate representation of all races of the Alliance, be they Draenei or Worgen, Gnome or Void Elf.<br />
<br />
The Court is structured into the following areas:<br />
* The Executive Office of the High Chancellor<br />
* The Executive Office of the Secretariat<br />
* The Royal Council<br />
* The Royal Court Committees</div>Nasiashttps://theroyalcourt.eu/index.php?title=Court_Structure&diff=1036Court Structure2024-04-06T13:45:44Z<p>Nasias: Created page with "His Majesty’s Royal Court is one of the principal governing bodies of the Kingdom of Stormwind and its Realms and Territories, tasked with overseeing and dispensing the Acts and Laws of the Realm, and maintaining principal responsibility for the general running of the Kingdom on a day-to-day basis.

<div>{{The King's Law/Guard's Handbook/Advice<br />
| Sentence Severity = Custom Only<br />
| Custom Sentence =<br />
* This sentence severity is variable between low and very high, based on the value of the stolen property.<br />
* The stolen property must be returned to the victim, however if this is not possible then the cash value amounting to the estimated value of the stolen property must be paid to the victim instead.<br />
* The normal forms of sentencing should be added in addition, based on the severity.<br />
| Summary Offence = true<br />
| Indictable Offence = true<br />
| Further Guidance =<br />
It's important to consider the value, quantity and method of robbery when deciding on the suggested sentence, e.g:<br />
* For petty robbery such as the illegal acquisition of a coin purse containing a few copper coins, the severity would be considered '''low''', but;<br />
* For serious robbery, such as the illegal acquisition of a coin purse containing gold coins or an expensive pocket watch, the severity would be considered '''high''' or '''very high''', and;<br />
* For everything in between, consider an applicable severity.<br />
* Also consider the method of violence and amount of force that was utilised or threatened during the robbery, and consider charging for [[{{#titleparts:The King's Law/Guard's Handbook/Common Assault}} | Common Assault]], [[{{#titleparts:The King's Law/Guard's Handbook/Actual Bodily Harm}} | Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)]] or [[{{#titleparts:The King's Law/Guard's Handbook/Grievous Bodily Harm}} | Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH)]] where applicable.}}</div>Nasiashttps://theroyalcourt.eu/index.php?title=The_King%27s_Law/Sentencing_Guidelines&diff=1034The King's Law/Sentencing Guidelines2024-03-14T09:13:38Z<p>Nasias: /* Restraining Orders */</p>

The below articles cover the various considerations to take in to account when sentencing an offender, and provide guidance on the various avenues available for sentencing offenders.<br />
__TOC__<br />
== Penalties ==<br />
All Fixed Penalties are calculated using the Severity rating of the offence being fined. As an example, Common Assault is rated Low in terms of severity, while GBH is rated High. This means that the sentences of these offences should be considered differently. The following guidelines illustrate the basic rates in which penalties should be levied against offenders, based upon the severity of the crime:<br />
* '''Low:''' 5 Silver per offence<br />
* '''Medium:''' 15 Silver per offence<br />
* '''High:''' 30 Silver per offence<br />
* '''Very High:''' 60 Silver per offence<br />
While offences are given severity ratings and the above guidance provides penalty rates, it is up to the person passing sentence which level of severity they will apply, based upon the facts of the case and any mitigating of aggravating factors, using the above guidance as a guideline to determine a reasonable fine.<br />
<br />
== Injunctions ==<br />
<br />
=== Restraining Orders ===<br />
A restraining order can be issued by a law enforcement official to direct a person away from another individual or organisation for a period of time of up to 1 week. A restraining order is issued to a person who harasses, stalks or engages in activity against another person or organisation, that would cause a reasonable person to suffer physical or psychological harm.<br />
<br />
A person issued with a restraining order cannot knowingly be within a pre-determined vicinity of the restraining party for a set period of time and cannot contact the restraining party directly (i.e. via letter) or indirectly (i.e. via a third party such as a mutual friend). If they do, they can be arrested.<br />
<br />
=== Dispersal Orders ===<br />
Dispersal orders can be issued by law enforcement officials to direct members of the public suspected of causing nuisance, harassment or distress away from a specified area for a determined period of time for up to 24 hours.<br />
<br />
A person issued with a dispersal order cannot return to the specified area within the determined time period. If they do, they can be arrested.<br />
<br />
=== Barring Orders ===<br />
Legislative information on Barring Orders can be viewed within the [[The_King%27s_Law/Legislation/Barring_Order_Act_631_KC|Barring Order Act 631 KC]].<br />
<br />
Barring orders are a penalty order for disorder. They are issued by a law enforcement official to an individual or an organisation suspected of causing violence toward others, or engaging in activities where there is a high risk of injury to others.<br />
<br />
A person or organisation issued with a barring order must leave Stormwind City immediately, and they cannot return within a determined time period of up to 72 hours. If they do, they can be arrested.<br />
<br />
== Community Restitution ==<br />
Community Restitution Orders (CRO) promote community resolution and rehabilitation for offenders; enabling victims of crime to achieve closure and receive reparation for wrong-doing or damage inflicted through restorative justice. CRO's may be issued in cases where there is damage to be repaired, either through direct restitution from offender to victim, or through community work orders where offenders are compelled to engage in unpaid community work.<br />
<br />
Use the following guidance to determine proportionate CRO durations:<br />
* '''Low:''' Up to 1 Day<br />
* '''Medium:''' Up to 2 Days<br />
* '''High:''' Up to 3 Days<br />
* '''Very High:''' Up to 1 Week<br />
Note that in some cases, a CRO may be an unsuitable sentence. Your best judgement should be utilised to determine if this is the case.<br />
<br />
== Corporal Sentences ==<br />
Corporal Punishment is the physical punishment of offenders; there are two accepted methods of Corporal Punishment within the legal system of Stormwind and these are Flogging (also known as Lashes or Whipping) and Beating.<br />
<br />
=== Flogging ===<br />
Flogging may be applied with the permission of a Magistrate, or a certified JP (Justice of the Peace) for any offence. However the issuing of a Flogging sentence for lesser crimes should usually only be applied in those cases where the convict is proven to have harmed, or attempted to harm another person, or has utilised a deadly weapon in the commission of their crime.<br />
<br />
The legal view on Flogging is that 48 lashes is fatal and so all sentences of Flogging are measured on a scale which considers 42 lashes to be the maximum a person may receive on a single occasion; unless they are sentenced to Die By The Lash, in which case the convict is whipped until dead. Of course Flogging is a more common punishment for serious offences (Rated High or above in the King's Law) than fining, but it can also be a companion punishment to a fine if the Magistrate or JP deems it appropriate.<br />
<br />
As a guideline on how many lashes a convict should receive apply the following, which measures the number of lashes against the Severity rating given to the crime under the King's Law:<br />
<br />
* '''Low:''' 3 Lashes<br />
* '''Medium:''' 6 Lashes<br />
* '''High:''' 12 Lashes<br />
* '''Very High:''' 24 Lashes<br />
<br />
=== Salt the Wound ===<br />
In the case of serious or repeat offenders the sentencing Magistrate or JP may order that the convict's wounds be salted. This literally means that, once the lashes have been administered, clean salt is ground into the wounds before they are bound. This is a harsh additional punishment which inflicts additional pain, without resulting in additional damage to the convict.<br />
<br />
=== Beating ===<br />
A sentence of Beating is not, as you might think, a case of simply beating up the convict; instead it is a measured and highly targeted punishment aimed at deterring thieves, bandits, and graffiti 'artists'. If sentenced to Beating then the convict has one or both of their hands placed upon a wooden board, after which the hands are struck with a wooden cudgel until broken. As with Flogging only a Magistrate or JP may issue this punishment.<br />
<br />
For the purposes of the maximum number of lashes a convict may receive, a Beating is considered to be 3 lashes per hand.<br />
<br />
== Capital Sentences ==<br />
Capital Punishment is the most severe form of punishment that can be inflicted upon offenders, reserved for the most serious and grave offences. While Capital Punishment serves as a major deterrent in instances of major crime, there are instances where Capital Punishment may need to be utilised as punitive action.<br />
<br />
As a guide, Capital Punishment is mainly reserved for offences that fall under the Very High severity category, the following articles should only be utilised where absolutely necessary and befitting of the crime conducted:<br />
<br />
* Execution via Decapitation<br />
* Execution via Firing Squad<br />
* Civil Death<br />
** Also known as exile, a person sentenced to Civil Death is compelled to leave the Kingdom of Stormwind for a determined period of time.<br />
** A person who returns to the Kingdom while under Civil Death, loses all rights and protection afforded to them by the law.<br />
<br />
== Mitigating Factors ==<br />
A Mitigating Factor is any factor relating to the crime which would warrant a decreased level of culpability and thus a reduced sentence. The following list details some (but not all) of the most common mitigating factors in a criminal case:<br />
<br />
* An attempt of the offence that ultimately failed<br />
* A greater degree of provocation than normally expected<br />
* Mental illness or disability<br />
* Youth or age, where it affects the responsibility of the individual defendant<br />
* The fact that the offender played only a minor role in the offence<br />
<br />
== Aggravating Factors ==<br />
An Aggravating Factor is any factor relating to the crime which would warrant an increased level of culpability and thus an increased sentence. The following list details some (but not all) of the most common Aggravating Factors in a criminal case:<br />
<br />
* Use of a weapon<br />
* Use of a deadly weapon<br />
* Repeat offenders<br />
* Serious offenders<br />
* Unprovoked<br />
* Intent<br />
* Premeditation<br />
* Vulnerable victim<br />
* Multiple victims<br />
* Victim is a Guard, a Soldier, or a Servant of the King<br />

The below articles cover the various considerations to take in to account when sentencing an offender, and provide guidance on the various avenues available for sentencing offenders.<br />
__TOC__<br />
== Penalties ==<br />
All Fixed Penalties are calculated using the Severity rating of the offence being fined. As an example, Common Assault is rated Low in terms of severity, while GBH is rated High. This means that the sentences of these offences should be considered differently. The following guidelines illustrate the basic rates in which penalties should be levied against offenders, based upon the severity of the crime:<br />
* '''Low:''' 5 Silver per offence<br />
* '''Medium:''' 15 Silver per offence<br />
* '''High:''' 30 Silver per offence<br />
* '''Very High:''' 60 Silver per offence<br />
While offences are given severity ratings and the above guidance provides penalty rates, it is up to the person passing sentence which level of severity they will apply, based upon the facts of the case and any mitigating of aggravating factors, using the above guidance as a guideline to determine a reasonable fine.<br />

† Beginning with Assault, these flagged offences are considered part of an exclusive tier (i.e. ABH is a more severe form of Assault). A suspect must be charged with the most severe offences per instance (i.e. attacking one person cannot result in a charge of both ABH and GBH, only GBH. Attacking 3 people may result in up to three instances, each independently ranging from Assault up to Wounding).<br />
<br />
‡ This can be a difficult offence to prove, and it should be reserved for the more serious cases. Where it is doubtful whether the threat carried the necessary intent a charge of Assault or Causing Harassment, Alarm, or Distress may be appropriate.<br />

== Offences Against Public Order ==<br />

† Beginning with Assault, these flagged offences are considered part of an exclusive tier (i.e. ABH is a more severe form of Assault). A suspect must be charged with the most severe offences per instance (i.e. attacking one person cannot result in a charge of both ABH and GBH, only GBH. Attacking 3 people may result in up to three instances, each independently ranging from Assault up to Wounding).<br />
<br />
‡ This can be a difficult offence to prove, and it should be reserved for the more serious cases. Where it is doubtful whether the threat carried the necessary intent a charge of Assault or Causing Harassment, Alarm, or Distress may be appropriate.<br />
<br />

† Beginning with Assault, these flagged offences are considered part of an exclusive tier (i.e. ABH is a more severe form of Assault). A suspect must be charged with the most severe offences per instance (i.e. attacking one person cannot result in a charge of both ABH and GBH, only GBH. Attacking 3 people may result in up to three instances, each independently ranging from Assault up to Wounding).<br />
<br />
‡ This can be a difficult offence to prove, and it should be reserved for the more serious cases. Where it is doubtful whether the threat carried the necessary intent a charge of Assault or Causing Harassment, Alarm, or Distress may be appropriate.<br />
<br />
== Offences Against Public Order ==<br />

† Beginning with Assault, these flagged offences are considered part of an exclusive tier (i.e. ABH is a more severe form of Assault). A suspect must be charged with the most severe offences per instance (i.e. attacking one person cannot result in a charge of both ABH and GBH, only GBH. Attacking 3 people may result in up to three instances, each independently ranging from Assault up to Wounding).<br />
<br />
‡ This can be a difficult offence to prove, and it should be reserved for the more serious cases. Where it is doubtful whether the threat carried the necessary intent a charge of Assault or Causing Harassment, Alarm, or Distress may be appropriate.<br />
<br />
== Offences Against Public Order ==<br />

† Beginning with Assault, these flagged offences are considered part of an exclusive tier (i.e. ABH is a more severe form of Assault). A suspect must be charged with the most severe offences per instance (i.e. attacking one person cannot result in a charge of both ABH and GBH, only GBH. Attacking 3 people may result in up to three instances, each independently ranging from Assault up to Wounding).<br />
<br />
‡ This can be a difficult offence to prove, and it should be reserved for the more serious cases. Where it is doubtful whether the threat carried the necessary intent a charge of Assault or Causing Harassment, Alarm, or Distress may be appropriate.<br />
