All rise. Or don’t. He isn’t looking.

Summon the Tribunal

Got a row that needs settling? Put it before the bench. Arthur the Cat, Chief Justice under Article VII of the Accord, will hand down a ruling. His findings are advisory, particularly where he has fallen asleep.

Three things share the name. Summon the Tribunal: get a comic verdict on a row of your own. You are here. Arthur’s Tribunal: play the game. Letters to the Tribunal: write to us, and the best are answered in public.

State your case

Nothing you type leaves your screen. The court keeps no records, chiefly because it cannot hold a pen.

The bench

The court is not in session. The Chief Justice is asleep, as is his right.

Rulings marked as from The Great British Disagreement are Arthur’s own lines from the book. The rest were written for this page. None of it is legal advice, or advice of any kind. For real disputes, try talking to each other; for real legal problems, try a solicitor.
