it doesn't. There are few cases that would get judged the same way accross tribunals except maybe selling your soul to a demon.
Magus Absurdus in the room would like to make a motion in favor of recognising that causing a magus emotional distress and wasting his time is deprivation of power, and therefore, Exageratus should be marched, because clearly a lot of magi are being deprived right now.
This case in my mind is confusing politics and law. I voted neutral, mostly because there is no right or wrong answers. It really boils down to whether the magi in the tribunal want to change the rules, not whether the rules are invalid.
