Government of Burgundie: Difference between revisions

The [[Maritime Prefecture of Burgundie]] is the supreme court of maritime [[Burgundie]]. It is the ultimate legal power in the legal hierarchy of ship's captains, the Martial Court of the [[Navy of Burgundie]], and any other body dispensing justice in the Burgundian maritime claims. The Commodore Justice is nominated by the Golden Council of Ten, reduced to three candidates and then appointed by the [[Government_of_Burgundie#Great_Prince_of_Burgundie|Great Prince]]. The Maritime Prefecture sees cases, interprets laws, and proposes unconstitutional laws to be overturned by the Lazarine Court. While the Maritime Prefecture is not subordinate to the Lazarine Court, the [[Consitution of Burgundie]] is considered a terrestrial document and therefore outside of the jurisdiction of the Commodore Justice. Alternatively, the Lazarine Court is not permitted to pass judgment on cases that will impact Maritime Law without the approval of the Maritime Prefecture.
