I think clarifying what happens to a dismissed case is good ("ceases
to be a CFJ") but the defer option isn't useful... it just gives
another counter to bounce around indefinitely. As a caller, I'd
rather have the CotC say "dismissed, submit again next week" then
say "okay, I'll keep deferring it... into limbo... for a while".
The best defense against judicial malfeasance in general, including
this and my recent pineapple case assignments, may be the Return of
the Justiciar (really, it's not a continuity problem... eir body was
never found, and you realize the Repeal Battle happened near a
monastery whose monks are known to take defeated Rules and nurse them
back to health while teaching them Kung-Fu power-3 precedence...).
