Thing of All Gunnishmen
Extraordinary Plenum, St. Sergius
Windhaven
​

The extraordinary plenum was called by Leader James B. BLACKTHORN.

Madec v. MacHugh
SUMMARY: The DEFENDANT, Mr. Said MADEC of Caledonia, files a writ of habeas corpus. The Inn of Advocates votes 2-1 to refer the writ to the extraordinary plenum of the Thing of All Gunnishmen, with Crown's Attorney dissenting. Crown's Attorney Dionysius G. MacHUGH charges the defendant with peacetime hostage taking according to customary international law. Crown's attorney argues that by the principle of aut dedere aut judicare, Mr. Madec must be judged either in Gunnish courts or returned to Caledonia to serve justice. The defendant retains Enquêter Padraig B. SMITH as legal counsel. Enquêter argues that customary international law cannot apply to government officials in this case, only pirates; furthermore, the Thing is not competent to judge the case; furthermore, Caledonia is unlikely to render justice in this case.

RESULT: The Thing of All Gunnishmen votes 15-10 to uphold the charge and send Mr. Madec to Caledonia. Catherine mL. BIRMINGHAM dissents on not on the grounds of competent jurisdiction, but due process. Mr. Madec is turned over to the officials of the Caledonian embassy in Windhaven.

MAJORITY (15): Dionysius G. MacHUGH (author), James B. BLACKTHORN, Justin BROITHE+, Chief Robert GUNN, Maria Ø. HUYLDRICH, Chief Harlan KEITH, Stephen G. LARKIN, Chief Iain MacDOUGALL, Stephen mA.
