Incidentally, I disliked the judgement that a requirement for someone
to do something "immediately" implies a legal fiction that e did it:
although it's the only interpretation that gives the clause teeth,
that clause could also have been easily written in a way that does not
require such implication and I do not think that there is much
precedent for its historical use in Agora proper*. Oh well.
* There is only one use of "shall immediately" or "must immediately"
in historical rules that does not refer to automatic effects, and that
was just as a synonym for "speedily":
The Respondant shall
immediately investigate the claim of error, and, as soon as
possible after the posting of the claim, either admit the claim
and issue an official correction to the document, or deny the
claim.
