The Court has also addressed issues arising from Cascadia’s unique digital governance structure, including disputes involving Discord administration and international treaties. The Court has also consistently recommended legislative action to clarify ambiguous areas of law, instead of outwardly invalidating laws it finds unenforceable if the law was legal.
