The Non-Partisan Courts Act

 

INTRODUCTION

In order to ensure the impartiality of court justices, and the faith of the citizenry in such.

WHEREAS The Commons publicly endorses the independent nature and functions of the judiciary in our nation, and recognising the ability of vested interests to pervert the course of justice, hereby decrees and promulgates this present ACT to ensure the correct and impartial adjudication of all cases.

SECTION I:

On affirming the non-partisan nature of the courts. 

 

1. Court justices are hereby to be barred from running for or holding a seat within the House of Commons.
2. Court justices are to be barred from publicly pledging support for, affirming membership of or endorsing any political party or faction. 

 

SECTION II:

On amending the Judiciary Act 1740 in regards to the courts to ensure the impartiality of justices. 

 

1. Any court justice must, upon appointment, immediately declare any and all interests in regards to political factions or organizations and forsake it by way of oath.
2. Court justices are to declare any business affiliation or interest or allegiance to anyone other than God, the Crown, and the law of Oren; and cannot adjudicate over matters with which they have a declared interest in; therefore a justice must recuse themselves from any trial of the kind.

 

SECTION III:

On amending the Judiciary Act 1740 in regards to the Supreme Court

 

1. Supreme Court justices are not to hold any political affiliation, or business affiliations or interests of any kind; and may not be in active military service, or owe any oaths or forms of allegiance to any person or organisation other than that of God, the Crown, and the law.

   1. Supreme Court justices are to be granted a salary of 500 marks per year for the duration of their tenure.

2. Any and all Supreme Court justices that have such affiliations are to forsake them or be rightfully stripped of their position.
