With respect to the judiciary:
1. The Scientific Council, when sitting as a court, may hear and determine an appeal from any superior Court of Common Jurisdiction (or any inferior Court of Common Jurisdiction if no superior Court of Common Jurisdiction will entertain an appeal on the matter), and either uphold or overturn the decision (or any part thereof) from which the appeal is made, but only on the grounds both that the Court of Common Jurisdiction from which the appeal is sought: –
(a) acted in the proceedings out of which the appeal arises outside its jurisdiction as conferred by the text of this Constitution; <and> [or]
(b) <that, by so doing, whether wholly or in part,> incorrectly determined any issue in dispute between any parties to those proceedings (including any question of law necessary to resolve such a dispute); [or]
[(c) Acted unreasonably in a procedural matter, which shall be immediately appealable.]
2. Without prejudice to the specificity of the foregoing, the Scientific Council when sitting as a court shall not in any circumstances have the power to determine any appeal from any Court of Common Jurisdiction only on any or all of the following ground<s>: –
<(a)> that the Court of Common Jurisdiction reached the wrong conclusion on any question of fact;
<(b) that the Court of Common Jurisdiction wrongly interpreted or applied the common law of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (except the common law with respect to the jurisdiction of the Courts of Common Jurisdiction); >
<(c) that the Court of Common Jurisdiction wrongly interpreted or applied any duly ratified Act of the Representative Assembly (except where the Court of Common Jurisdiction expressly purports to disapply any Act of the Representative Assembly); or>
<(d) that the Court of Common Jurisdiction wrongly interpreted, applied, or disapplied any regulation (or similar) made by any person or body deriving its power to do so from the Representative Assembly, or any person or body who, in turn, derives her, his or its power to do so from the Representative Assembly,>
nor shall <any of those grounds> [this ground] have any bearing on the outcome of any appeal from any Court of Common Jurisdiction to the Court of Scientific Council. [The Court of the Scientific Council, sitting as an appellate court, shall presume the truth of facts found by the court from which appeal is made.]
