The Report on Lengthy Litigation
 * By David Mestel, 25 August, 2008

The Arbitration Committee opened one case this week, and did not close any, leaving four currently open.

New case

 * Piotrus 2: A second case involving alleged edit warring and other misconduct by Piotrus. He denies the allegations.

Evidence phase

 * SlimVirgin-Lar: A case brought by Thatcher, asking the committee to review the use of checkuser by Lar, in the light of comments by SlimVirgin (here, inter alia), alleging that he misused the tool. Evidence is to be submitted privately to the committee by e-mail, and voting will presumably occur privately as well.

Voting phase

 * C68-FM-SV: A case involving disputes between Cla68, FeloniousMonk, SlimVirgin, JzG, and others.  Newyorkbrad has proposed a lengthy decision, most of which has the support of four arbitrators, which sets out a number of principles and findings of fact, and instructs the parties to review and abide by them, giving a number of prohibited courses of conduct by way of example.


 * Alastair Haines: A case involving Alastair Haines and other users. Remedies imposing editing restrictions on him, as well as on Ilkali and LisaLiel, have the support of five arbitrators.
