Are you familiar with using equity as a process for remedy when presented with a legal presentation/negotiable instrument? I’ve taken a class on the topic, and the idea is that because everything is commerce, you can simply ask a judge (after making a special appearance, which I understand to be acting as a man/woman) to settle/close the matter. In essence, you aren’t arguing facts, jurisdiction, etc., you’re just asking them to settle and close the matter since it’s mostly just a matter of balancing the books/accounting-wise.
