Procedural - Enforcement of Judgements
After the Tribunal renders its judgements comes the time for appeals and, ultimately, enforcement of those judgements.
Some defendants may acquiesce with grace.
It is more likely, however, that there will be difficulties.
Enforcement will often be a difficult and messy process. Reluctance, even physical (or in some cases armed) resistance can be anticipated.
It may come to pass that in some cases legitimate force may be needed to coerce compliance.
Our standard legal systems have several means to coerce compliance with judgements. And although unlikely that all cases seeking remedies to the TME (Trump/MAGA Era) will be handled by the existing Federal and State civil and criminal courts, one can learn much from the methods available to those courts.
- Courts have recourse to both civil and criminal contempt.
- Monetary damages (including liquidated damages)
- Specific performance
- Injunctions
- Putting assets into trusts.
- Liens and forced sales of assets
- Transfers of ownership title
- Incarceration
- Deportation
- Revocation or cancellation of Citizenship, Visas, or other rights and privileges
- etc
- Death (I hope that is is off the table in our efforts to redress Trump/MAGA harms.)
