[blml] Alerting Rules [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[richard.hills at immi.gov.au]

Stefanie Rohan asked:

>Who have the power to overrule...?

Richard Hills replies:

In theory a proof-reading analyst has zero power
to over-rule the EBU Laws and Ethics Committee
when the EBU L&EC has arguably published an
unLawful regulation in its Orange Book.

For example, the first paragraph of Orange Book
clause 3B9 is arguably unLawfully contrary to
Law 75A.

For another example, Orange Book clause 3B10 is
arguably unLawfully contrary to Law 75B.

But.....

In practice a disgruntled sea-lawyer can sue the
EBU in a real-life court.

If that real-life court discovered that the EBU
did nothing when it was informed that some of
its regulations were arguably unLawful, and if
that real-life court accepted the argument that
those regulations were indeed unLawful, then the
EBU may have to pay out substantial real-life
money instead of its usual payment of false-life
masterpoints.
