WHEREAS El Marì Rexhital Talossan (MRT) is currently (and has always been) without an Admiral,

WHEREAS 35RZ32, The Naval Reorganization Act, mandates that the MRT be administered by an Admiral and,

WHEREAS 35RZ32 requires that any nominee to the rank and post of Admiral be appointed by the Monarch following confirmation of the Ziu in the form of an affirmative majority vote and,

WHEREAS the nominee has shown true, diligent, and faithful service over the last four plus years and will continue to do so now,

THEREFORE, I, Brad Holmes, Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Talossa, do nominate and highly recommend promoting Tímoþi M. Asmourescu, Capitán, MRT, to the rank and post of Amirál, MRT.

Scribe's Note: Talossa's first Admiral was Kurt Litscher, friend of the then Defence Minister. Mr Litscher supplied the Kingdom with use of a sailboat and was declared Admiral of the Fleet by passage of 6RC57, dated November 30, 1987.

This measure was ratified with overwhelming support from both chambers of the Ziu. His Majesty, King John, thereafter promoted and appointed Captain Asmourescu as Talossa's first Admiral of the modern Navy with the following proclamation:

Pursuant to the provision of 35RZ32, The Naval Reorganization Act, that the Admiral is "appointed by the Monarch upon recommendation by the Defence Minister and approved by a majority vote in the Ziu", and laying aside considerations of syntax,

We, John, King of Talossa and Cézembre, etc., do hereby, upon the nomination of the Defense Minister and the ratification of the Ziu, appoint our trusty and well-beloved subject Tímoþi M. Asmourescu, Capitán, MRT, to the rank and post of Amirál, MRT. We are utterly confident of Admiral Asmorescu's loyalty and zeal for the Kingdom of Talossa, and are very happy to make this appointment.

Done under Our hand royal in the city of Denver in Colorado, this 29th day of November (being the Vigil of the Feast of Saint Andrew Apostle and Martyr) in the year of salvation 2011, of the independence of Talossa the 32nd, and of Our reign the 5th.

43RZ2: The Legal Appeals Act

WHEREAS our ever growing legal system now has a functioning inferior court and

WHEREAS decisions by all inferior national and provincial courts may be appealed to the Uppermost Cort (OrgLaw Article XVII, Section 9 for provincial courts) and

WHEREAS since we're organizing everything else, we might as well put a little structure to how appeals shall be handled so

THEREFORE, it shall be understood that any provincial court decision may be appealed at the National level before the lowest inferior court and that any decision by this court may be appealed to the Uppermost Cort. National courts shall not interpret or rule on matters of provincial law unless the province has no system of courts, has not proclaimed a constitution or has standing law that matters of provincial law be handled through National Courts. Rather, the decisions of these courts will ensure no provincial court decision runs contrary to the Organic or Statutory Laws of the Kingdom, and that the rights of all involves parties, as guaranteed by the Rights and Covenants of the Organic Law, are protected.

FURTHERMORE, all appeals, as with other court actions, shall be filed with the Clerk of Courts. Upon official judicial assignment, the Justice(s), Judge or Magistrate may either dismiss the case, by declining to hear it, or begin hearing opening arguments in the matter as presented by all relevant parties.

FURTHERMORE, appeals or other actions brought before the Uppermost Cort shall be heard within 90 calendar days from the date of assignment by the Clerk of Courts. Should this time elapse and no decision be rendered as to whether the Uppermost Cort will hear the matter brought before it, the court will have implied unwillingness to hear the case and the decision of the lower court shall be upheld without prejudice. Parties may then re-file their appeal a final time after waiting an additional 90 days. If the court declines to hear, or fails to respond within 90 days, the decision of the lower court shall be upheld and no further appeal shall be permitted.
