what kind of judicial system exists?
"Bleh, what a question. Let me see what I can remember."
"When we first moved here, there wasn't really a police force or anything. It was mostly vigilantism, with the Exploration Teams stationed here from Red Bay acting as enforcement. If you could avoid pissing them off, you could basically get away with anything."
"We only really got a proper police station after our own Guild was properly established and the Red Bay affilated Teams left us alone. Our sherriff right now is a Weavile named Briar Rose. She still works under Red Bay officially, so we still haven't been able to fully separate from Red Bay."
"The court system... is really complicated and annoying. I've only been to court once."
"Ugh..."
"That was not a great time for me. Or for any of us. I don't like the searchlight of the law system. It makes me feel..."
"Vulnerable."
"We won in the end, though. And he went to prison for several seasons, adding up to a total of three years. And he can't come anywhere near me or Wish Town anymore. So that's good news!"
"Gods, I'd hate for him to somehow find out we have kittens now. The last thing we need is your insane ex harrassing us again."

How throwing a #Christmastree cost £650,000 in #compensation
To “swinging the lead” and “pulling a fast one” we can now add “throwing a Christmas tree” as a euphemism for trickery or deceit after a court in Limerick in Ireland dismissed Kamila Grabska’s £650,000 compensation claim for injuries sustained after a car accident in 2017. She had claimed that the injuries to her back and neck were so disabling that she had been unable to work for more than five…
