YWS0-Z, Providence - On 112.04.29, Chipmo of The Star Fraction announced on GALNET the foundation of his Civil Court of New Providence [CCCNP].
Chipmo's court will offer capsuleers a way to resolve disputes without resorting to violence. Initially based in Providence, it may eventually be extended to all of New Eden's pilots.
The court will operate with Chipmo as a monocratic justice. Clients will be allowed to hire attorneys and detectives to present their facts.
Doubts on the Court's method of operation have already been raised: "I can understand the hassle of organising an impartial jury to assist... [however], I do think to be completely 'fair' a monocratic court is not the way forward," said Grr, diplomat for Curatores Veritatis Alliance.
A case has already been filed with the Court and there has been some interest in Chipmo adjudicating another two disputes.
