Bill
To

Consolidate corruption under one bill

The Council of Ministers enacts:

Section 1. Short Title

(1) This Act is the Corruption Act.

Section 2. Commencement

(1) All Provision(s) shall come into effect upon passage.

(2) All bills containing the word “Sherlock accords" is hereby rescinded and struck from law

Section 3. Reasoning

(1) It is stupid how we have a bunch of bills that are all either “Sherlock Accords amendment” or “sherlock accords edit” and on and on and on.

Section 4. Corruption of Government Officials.

(1) Define Corruption of Government Officials as “The act of using your high government position to benefit your own personal or corporate interests.”
(a) Anyone who is found guilty of this crime shall be barred from holding a high government position for 4 months, removed from all their high government positions and shall have a fine imposed on them not exceeding 15,000kr. The fine shall be at the discretion of the presiding Judge on the case.

Section 5. Corruption of Government Employees

(1) Define Corruption of Government Employees as “The act of using your government job to benefit your own personal or corporate interests.”
(a) Anyone who is found guilty of this crime shall be barred from having a government job for 3 months, removed from all their government jobs, and shall receive a fine of no more than 5,000kr.


Section 6. Enforcement

(1) Any lawyer may bring forth a case of corruption in court against any government official or employee.

(2) A government official or employee is only benefiting from their government position if they are the sole person benefiting from their position. If they are using their position to benefit the entirety of the server which includes that person as well it is not corruption and they may not be sued for that.

Section 7. Corruption of Judicial Members

(1) The Stratham Bar Association shall have the sole power to try and remove a Judge.

(2) The process of accusing a Judicial Member of corruption is follows:
  1. A lawyer notifies the Executive Committee of the SBA of their intent to accuse a Judge.
  2. The lawyer must provide enough evidence to the Committee to prove that they have sufficient evidence to start a case.
  3. If sufficient evidence is provided, a hearing channel will be created on discord where the Chairman of the SBA shall be the presiding officer along with the Executive Committee as a panel.
  4. The panel will summon the Judge with the full force of authority as a judicial summons. The lawyer who initiates the case shall act as the plaintiff and the Judge shall be the defendant.
  5. After the Judge has responded to the hearing, the process of selecting a Jury of 5 members from the general membership of the SBA shall begin. If 5 jurors can not be selected then 3 instead may act as the Jury. In the case 3 can not be selected the trial shall proceed without a jury.
  6. The plaintiff and defendant or their lawyers shall collectively select the Jury ensuring they have minimal to no conflict of interest or bias in the case or to either sides whatsoever.
  7. Once a jury has been selected, the case will proceed following the normal procedure of any trial.
  8. Once the trial ends, the Jury will collectively decide on whether to recommend to the panel the removal of the Judge and find them guilty or not. In order for any decision to prevail it must have a majority vote.
  9. Once the Jury has recommended the decision, the panel will deliberate on whether to accept the recommendation or not.

(3) All SBA members must perform Jury duty when called on by the Executive Committee.
