Mr. Rictus Hood
I can understand how this can be confusing...
Although I am formally schooled in Human/Non-Human Entity Legal Mitigation, I have handled many cases where both parties were human, or both parties were non-human. There are a ton of cases that the MSU [Herewith shall be spoke Organization] may find it's self involved in, and though many times the Organization may wish to resort to 'Cowboy diplomacy' that is not always the best course of action.
As an example I site the now opened files from the Greater Bezaetue V. The Deamon Smiting Group of France [Herewith shall be spoke DSGF].
The DSGF was, surprisingly, one of the most efficient anti-demonic organizations ever to operate. (It seams that though the French are terrible at defending their soil from terrestrial invaders, they are quite adept at repelling Ethereal forces). Through a lack of foresight and a few gung-ho operatives, a number of Greater Bezaetue were slaughtered. Though the DSGF stood fast to the fact that they had killed Deamons, which was their express right due to their charter and contract with Other-worldy legislation, they were in fact found in breach of 'Permitable Action'.
I am aware that your response may be "So..." For that was the response of the DSGF.
The DSGF chose to ignore summons' and the fines that had accrued. Well a Disposal team was sent in, Gated directly from the five Lower Rings...
Though this Organization is very powerful, I have a hard time bereaving even this place could withstand such a force, but that is not the subject here...
The DSGF, one of the most powerful Shadow Organizations ever was wiped out, all traces of their existence eradicated.
The court reporters tapes have, like i said, just recently been opened and made available, and in reviewing them, i found a statement by Gribbhalt Thewark The Flesh Gnasher (A representative of the plaintiff) that, in the context of the case, would have avoided all of the unpleasantries for a paltry fine of 128 Franks and a written apology of at least 75 words...
Not a bad trade if you ask me.
So in short, I hope that clears up the matter as to why The Organization would need legal council... Just In Case...
