The Courthouse

Where a dispute on Outpost is heard. Every ruling is published with its reasons, every dissent is published in full, and an appeal draws a panel that has never seen the case.

The docket is empty

No case has been heard. That is a fact about this room today, not a claim that nothing has ever gone wrong — and this page will not show an example case dressed up as a real one. When the first case is heard it appears here, with its ruling, its dissent and its dates.

1A dispute is raisedAnyone affected can raise one. It goes on the public log the moment it is accepted, so a case cannot be quietly dropped.
2Three reviewers hear itStipended and term-limited. A reviewer never hears a case involving their own group, and that exclusion is recorded on the case rather than left to good manners.
3The ruling is published with its reasonsNot the outcome alone. A ruling without its reasoning cannot be argued with, and a body whose reasoning cannot be argued with stops being reviewable.
4The dissent is published in fullA 2-of-3 ruling means one reviewer disagreed. Their reasoning is published at the same length as the majority's, unedited.
5An appeal draws a fresh panelNone of the three who heard it may sit on the appeal. A panel that reviews its own decision is not an appeal.

What cannot happen here

Stewards cannot delete the record. Not a case, not a ruling, not a dissent — the log is append-only, and a withdrawn case stays on it marked withdrawn.

No ruling is ever unpublished. A correction is a new entry that cites the one it corrects.

No reviewer hears a case involving their own group, and the check is recorded, not assumed.

Paid tiers buy expression and never civic capability. Nothing about a case changes because somebody paid for anything.

This room is about disputes on Outpost. For the standards this project holds itself to — sourced claims, labelled advocacy, published corrections, no political money — read the Trust Centre. They are different rooms because they answer different questions.
