{{Cort}}The '''{{inalt}}''' ({{IPA-all|koɾt py ɨnˈaɬt||cpi.ogg}}), or Uppermost Court, is the chief judicial body in [[Talossa]], responsible for interpreting the laws of the Ziu or Prime Dictates of the [[Seneschal]], in light of the [[Organic Law]] and the principles of the nation, and derives its authority from Article VIII of the Organic Law.  It is the court of last resort for all judicial verdicts.   


When hearing arguments or rendering decisions, the Organic Law requires that the justices of the {{inalt}} wear official judicial wigs.  Precedent has been established such that draping a paper napkin over the judicial pate is sufficient to satisfy this Organic requirement.
The {{inalt}} consists of one Senior Judge and three Puisne Judges, nominated by the [[Ziu]] and confirmed by the [[King]].  Judges serve a term of five years, which may be renewed as prescribed by law, or until they retire or are removed in accordance with Article VIII, Section 5 of the Organic Law and el Lexhatx article G.11.  The {{inalt}} underwent significant changes following the implementation of the [[Judiciary Amendment of 2020]] (54RZ25).


An inferior court, the [[Magistracy]], was instituted by the Ziu to supplement the {{inalt}}'s ability to manage their burden.
An inferior court, the [[General Cort]], was instituted by the Ziu to supplement the {{inalt}}'s ability to manage its burden.  The [[Clerk of Courts]] is an appointed position that receives cases and presents them to the {{inalt}}.


The current Senior Justice is Sir [[Tamorán dal Navâ]], [[UrN]], and the two Puisne Justices are Admiral [[Tímoþi Asmourescu]], [[Navy|RN]], and [[Ián Munditenêns Triesoûrêt Tamorán]] (Ián Tamorán).

===Former members===
The [[Judiciary Amendment of 2020]] retired the use of Justice and restyled members of the {{inalt}} as Judge.  The article uses the historic title of Justice and present title of Judge interchangeably. 
 
The terms "Senior" and "Puisne" (earlier, "Associate") were only introduced later.  Weston Erni was the first to bear the title of Senior Justice, and also the first Justice that was appointed to replace one of the three original members.
 
Some nominations were rejected by the Ziu:
* Former Seneschal [[Robert Murphy]] in 1989, to succeed Justice Lauriéir, defeated 38-133 after Murphy announced Peculiarist ideas in stark contrast with the then-PC majority; Lauriéir was found to have never legally resigned, and went on to retire the following year.
* Former Seneschal Sir [[Samuhel Tecladeir]] in 2009, to the vacant seat held by retiring Senior Justice Ian von Metáiriâ; eventually, Fritz von Buchholtz was confirmed a few months later.
 
Justices/Judges who have served as Senior Justice/Judge are marked in '''bold'''.

====Temporary Justices====
During the 1988 case Lauriéir v. Talossa, both Justices Lauriéir and Madison were parties to the case, and therefore [[Robert Murphy]] and [[Tom Buffone]] were chosen as replacements. Buffone would eventually go on to join the Court in his own right in 1997; Murphy, tapped by Lauriéir to replace him on the Court in 1989, was voted down by the Cosa.
 
This happened again during a case over the 21 January 1989 Living Cosa: Justices Lauriéir (again the plaintiff) and Madison recused and were replaced for the duration of the case by [[Art Verbotten]] and Buffone. Verbotten would too be later appointed as a full Justice, serving between 1993-1997 and 1999-2004.
 
===Justices ''Emeritus''===
The following are Justices ''Emeritus'' of the Uppermost Court - former Justices who are still Talossan citizens. The title has no legal meaning but is sometimes used in signatures and literature.
* Former Puisne Justice Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, O.SPM., SMM.;

  The Cort Pü Inalt ([koɾt py ɨnˈaɬt] ( )), or Uppermost Court, is the chief judicial body in Talossa, responsible for interpreting the laws of the Ziu or Prime Dictates of the Seneschal, in light of the Organic Law and the principles of the nation, and derives its authority from Article VIII of the Organic Law. It is the court of last resort for all judicial verdicts.

The Cort Pü Inalt consists of one Senior Judge and three Puisne Judges, nominated by the Ziu and confirmed by the King. Judges serve a term of five years, which may be renewed as prescribed by law, or until they retire or are removed in accordance with Article VIII, Section 5 of the Organic Law and el Lexhatx article G.11. The Cort Pü Inalt underwent significant changes following the implementation of the Judiciary Amendment of 2020 (54RZ25).

An inferior court, the General Cort, was instituted by the Ziu to supplement the Cort Pü Inalt's ability to manage its burden. The Clerk of Courts is an appointed position that receives cases and presents them to the Cort Pü Inalt.

Current Composition

Judge Position Appointed on Replacing
Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN Senior Judge 1 Mar 2014/XXXV (46RZ03) Asmourescu
Owen Edwards Puisne Judge 22 Apr 2015/XXXVI (47RZ40) new seat[1]
Istefan Perþonest Puisne Judge 31 Jan 2021/XLII (55RZ17) Tamorán

Former members

The Judiciary Amendment of 2020 retired the use of Justice and restyled members of the Cort Pü Inalt as Judge. The article uses the historic title of Justice and present title of Judge interchangeably.

The terms "Senior" and "Puisne" (earlier, "Associate") were only introduced later. Weston Erni was the first to bear the title of Senior Justice, and also the first Justice that was appointed to replace one of the three original members.

Some nominations were rejected by the Ziu:

  • Former Seneschal Robert Murphy in 1989, to succeed Justice Lauriéir, defeated 38-133 after Murphy announced Peculiarist ideas in stark contrast with the then-PC majority; Lauriéir was found to have never legally resigned, and went on to retire the following year.
  • Former Seneschal Sir Samuhel Tecladeir in 2009, to the vacant seat held by retiring Senior Justice Ian von Metáiriâ; eventually, Fritz von Buchholtz was confirmed a few months later.

Justices/Judges who have served as Senior Justice/Judge are marked in bold.

Temporary Justices

During the 1988 case Lauriéir v. Talossa, both Justices Lauriéir and Madison were parties to the case, and therefore Robert Murphy and Tom Buffone were chosen as replacements. Buffone would eventually go on to join the Court in his own right in 1997; Murphy, tapped by Lauriéir to replace him on the Court in 1989, was voted down by the Cosa.

This happened again during a case over the 21 January 1989 Living Cosa: Justices Lauriéir (again the plaintiff) and Madison recused and were replaced for the duration of the case by Art Verbotten and Buffone. Verbotten would too be later appointed as a full Justice, serving between 1993-1997 and 1999-2004.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 One of the three preexisting seats was vacant due to dal Navâ's retirement.
  2. Following his retirement, the seat occupied by Puisne Judge Nordselva was eliminated when the Ziu enacted the Community Jurist (JP Restoration) Bill (55RZ7).
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 The order of the new Justices taking office in the 2012 reshuffle, and who they replaced, was determined by 43RZ30, which appointed, in this precise order, Sir Tamorán dal Nava, Timoþi Asmourescu and Ián Tamorán to the first vacancies available. Having Justice von Buchholtz retired first, dal Nava succeeded him and was made Senior Justice; Justices Siervicül and Castiglha were removed by legislation in the same Clark later that month, so the lower numbered removal bill (Siervicül's) was determined to have vacated the next seat for Asmourescu, and the last vacated seat (Castiglha's) was therefore occupied by Tamoran.

  5. Senior Justice after von Metáiriâ (4) quit
  6. Senior Justice after Laurieir (2) quit
  7. Senior Justice after Velmeir quit
  8. Senior Justice after Muth quit
