The factfinding mission is wise. As soon as it retuns and if the Judicial Dept decides to prosecute we will be able to quickly move to trial. However, there are so many trials which now could occur, since Lord Stark appears to have passed some culpability on to Lorrdian officials. Clear evidence will allow an open and close trial of Republic vs Stark would be desirable determine the outcome of the possible Republic vs x involved individuals.
The civil suits and tribunals for this could be widespread too, and will hang on the outcome of the initial finding in a Republic vs Stark case.
Naturally, I approve of the factfinding mission, and while there is already evidence to issue indictments and arrest warrants, I won't do so until the full body of evidence is before me; I shall conduct myself with a solemn and even handed scrutiny of all the facts before coming to a decision.Added (22 March 14, 3:48 AM)

Your Excellency
May I request we be able to proceed with issuance of warrants presently?
I am told that sufficient time has elapsed and the investigatory commission has published its results. The bench are extremely anxious that the system of sanctions we impose on the Senex Juvex are to be effectively void unless we take action. I believe I speak for the bench of the Supreme Court when I make this assertion.
I'm not commenting on any possible guilt but I am told the that Alsakan intends to bring a private prosecution, swiftly. And I would sooner see the prosecution in the hands of more reasonable and amenable Republic prosecutors than the firebrands of the Core's self appointed moral arbiters.
Sincerely
