INTRODUCTION

The Oren Revised Code, the current legal codex of the Holy Orenian Empire, has many laws which are unclear and or flawed. It is our duty as the House of Commons to ensure that it is appropriately amended and updated, so that the law is accurate and fair.

 

SECTION I:

Amending CH 202.023 and CH 202.051 of the Oren Revised Code

 

1. CH. 202.023 of the Oren Revised Code states the following: “202.023 - Where an individual intentionally commits upon another an act of unlawful violence which brings about permanent injury, this shall be battery of the first degree, a felony.”, yet CH 202.051 states the following: “202.051 - Where an individual intentionally or negligently commits such an act as to bring about the superficial disfigurement of another, or the removal of a single digit, this shall be mayhem in the third degree, a misdemeanor.”
2. Due to the contradictory nature of these two laws, it is proposed that CH 202.051 is changed to “202.051 - Where an individual negligently commits such an act as to bring about the superficial disfigurement of another, or the removal of a single digit, this shall be mayhem in the third degree, a misdemeanor.”

 

SECTION II:

Amending CH 306 of the Oren Revised Code

 

1. All Imperial Peerages shall follow male-preference cognatic primogeniture succession law.
2. On the death of a peer, their title shall pass to their firstborn son and his offspring.
3. In the absence of the firstborn son and his offspring, the title shall pass to the second-born son and his offspring, and so on and so forth.
4. In the absence of any sons and their offspring, the title shall pass to the firstborn daughter and her offspring.
5. In the absence of the firstborn daughter and her offspring, their title shall pass to the second-born daughter and her offspring, and so on and so forth.
6. In the absence of any children and their offspring, their title shall pass to their eldest brother and his offspring.
7. In the absence of any brothers and their offspring, their title shall pass to their eldest sister and her offspring.
8. In the absence of any clear successor, the succession will be settled by the House of Lords.
