The UJ did not grant certiorari-meaning the case would be heard by the court-until Feb. 15. According to Article IV, Section 4 of the Union constitution, the UJ must hold trials within five days of granting certiorari.
Since that was not done, Schwartz made a motion for the case to be dismissed on the grounds that after the five academic days had past, the case is no longer under the UJ's jurisdiction.
"Since five academic days have ended," Schwartz wrote in an e-mail to the court on Mar. 2, "the case is no longer valid. The Student Union Constitution, to which the Union Judiciary is bound, has not been upheld. It would be a crime against this document, from which the Judiciary garners its powers, to continue the case."
Samburg explained that with the exception of one member who had no responded, all agreed for different reasons that Schwartz's motion was not valid.
One argument made by a judge was that "there was the opportunity to resolve a conflict and it shouldn't be abridged on a technicality," Samburg said.
