Resolution 214: The Court Deadline Procedure Amendment Act
Proposed by KittyCat11231. Endorsed by Skelezomperman, ryanfr, and Narnia17.
This resolution is a constitutional amendment.
This resolution amends the procedures detailed by Amendments 3, 11, 26, and 75 which the Court must follow should it fail to respond to a case filed with it within the constitutional deadline, and modifies other related procedures of the Court.
The Court has 48 hours to respond to any case filed with it. Should a case be appropriately requested to be heard en banc within 24 hours of the deadline, the deadline shall be extended to 24 hours from the time the request was made. If a case is to be heard en banc, the Justices must propose and concur with a date and time for the hearing. If a case is not to be heard en banc, any Justice may schedule the hearing for which they will preside over. The hearing date for any case must be scheduled to occur at most 24 hours following the deadline to file the case, unless all Justices presiding over the case and all parties involved agree to an extension. Even if the Justices wish to dismiss a case, a hearing must still be scheduled in case the consent of all Justices to dismiss the case is not obtained by the deadline to respond to the case.
Should the deadline to respond to a case, which is to be heard en banc, pass without any scheduled hearing and absent a dismissal of the case, the Justice or Justices who agreed on a hearing date are to preside over the case, and the Justice or Justices who did not are considered to be unavailable. Should the Chief Justice be unavailable, the President is to designate an Interim Chief Justice, with the endorsement of two other Officers, for the proceedings related to the case. Should an Associate Justice be unavailable, the Chief Justice is to designate an Interim Associate Justice, with the endorsement of two other Officers, for the proceedings related to the case, unless the Chief Justice is also unavailable, in which case such decision shall be made by the President with the endorsement of two other Officers.
Should the deadline to respond to a case, which is not to be heard en banc, pass without any scheduled hearing and absent a dismissal of the case, all Justices are considered to be unavailable, and the President is to designate an Interim Chief Justice, with the endorsement of two other Officers, for the proceedings related to the case.
Should any Justice recuse him or herself from a particular case, should they be excluded by law from presiding over such case, or there is no Justice due to a vacancy on the Court, they are automatically considered to be unavailable, even if the deadline to respond to the case hasn't passed. If the Justice in question is the Chief Justice, the President is to designate an Interim Chief Justice, with the endorsement of two other Officers (not including the recused Justice), for the proceedings related to the case. If the Justice in question is an Associate Justice, the Chief Justice is to designate an Interim Associate Justice, with the endorsement of two other Officers (not including the recused Justice), for the proceedings related to the case, unless the Chief Justice is unavailable, in which case such decision shall be made by the President with the endorsement of two other Officers (not including the recused Justice).
Any Interim Justice for a case shall have the full powers and duties of a Justice of the United Cities exclusively for matters pertaining to the case they are presiding over.
Parties involved in any case, as well as the Justices of the Court, who wish for the case to be heard en banc, must make this request before the 48 hour deadline for the Court to respond to the case. After the issuance of a decision in a case, having not been heard en banc, any party involved, or any Justice, may request the case be re-reviewed by the Court en banc, and the Court shall have the same procedural requirements and deadlines as if a new case had been filed.

Vetoed. I believe this has a negative impact on the oversight and accountability of this committee. The purpose of the meeting requirement is to insure regular discussion of committee business.

In the case of which there is no allocated chairman of the committee, the president should file the monthly report for the committee.
Failure of any committee member to place their signature on a monthly report shall trigger a motion before the committee removing the member.
The monthly report shall be sent through the United Cities Discord and/or the wiki.
