Karen thinks you’ll be interested in this. Not sure why she didn’t forward it herself.

MP,

You assured me I could toast this occasion, should it happen, with free scotch. Can’t believe I need to remind you of that.

Also, will you make an announcement to the IDU newswire? I’d ask April, but she’s busy with the list.

Karen, last shipment of scotch was a bust. Half the bottles broken. So no free scotch, ok? But I got a killer homebrew everyone’s welcome to, callin’ it “the maw island miracle.”

Dear Owner Citizens of Maraix,

I am so terribly happy to announce to all to you that Leon just called on the Inmarsat with absolutely momentous, wonderful, fantabulous news! The board was confident in this outcome, but didn’t want to say anything to the association without first getting Leon’s confirmation. So grab your grandbabes, children, loved ones, and furbabies tight, in case what I say knocks you right over:

The National High Court in Laeral just decided in the hearing that it does not have jurisdiction over the HOA’s legal filing, saying (I hope I got this right or Leon will let me have it): “Though the Municipal and Provincial courts handled civil filings related to the sale of the Maw Island, the establishing of land trust encompassing Maw Island its surrounding territory, and the incorporation of the HOA, the High Court recognizes that it did not actually have the jurisdictional authority to do so. Further, the High Court cannot rule on the contents of the CCC&R, as the documents must be filed in a court holding jurisdiction over the matter. It stands to reason, based on the evidence and documentation provided, that no court in Laeral holds this jurisdiction.”

What this means is that we are FREE! Laeral recognizes it doesn’t have jurisdiction over the island, as it agrees our historic founder was neither a French citizen nor native to High Fells. According to Leon, when the judge says, “...the documents must be filed in a court holding jurisdiction over this matter…,” that means us: our own court, in our own territory, in our own nation.

Let that sink in.
Isn’t it just kicky?!

Anyway, here’s what you need to know:

• Henry (with a Y) and I are communicating with the government in Legionas. We have their support, but there’s a bunch of logistical matters we need to deal with: (A) Quarterly shipments– Laeral pre-paid Legionas for the January cargo drop, so it’s still on schedule. After that, who knows? The board will convene for an emergency session about this soon. (B) Boarding students – No worries about the high schoolers at the boarding school, tuition’s covered through the end of the term, but when they’re back in January, they’re back. The board will work with Legionas on negotiating for the next academic year. © Mainland professionals – We’ve been informed that these changes mean all our stationed mainland professionals (security, clinic, and primary school crews) will return to Legionas & Laeral with the January departure. The board will discuss this during the emergency session, too. I also think we should plan a going-away party, because we’ll miss them.

• Per the CCC&R, this ruling makes fully actionable ALL recitals, articles, conditions, covenants, restrictions, etc., so everything we said was going to happen will, and we have a lot of work ahead of us. Expect more emails from the board soon and don’t forget: voting on association matters is mandatory! Don’t ignore official association notices!

• Expect to hear from Henri (with an I) and Leon soon with an update re: taxes. They’ve been in touch with most of you, but not all, so please spread the word (though it impacts less than half of us) – if you think you owe taxes to Laeral, do NOT send over a single precious mark. Henri and Leon will let you know everything you need to know (hint: to NOT pay Laeral a cent).

• Finally: MP told me that drinks are on him, tonight, at the Hook & Nail! Everyone, and I mean everyone, who is on the island, let’s meet down there at 7:00 and celebrate! I know I could use a scotch after this news.
  

Ecstatic regards,
