“Our carbon capture and sequestration process links carbon with light elements to form a viscous liquid which can be pumped deep into the planetary crust, where it will remain indefinitely”

@Unixbigot Chief HyperJustice    was scathing when writing the majority opinion of the UltraCourt. The clear encoding in the insurance contract meant what it plainly encoded. It is the sole responsibility of the owning megaintelligence to manage infestations of carbon self-replicators. This responsibility is not diminished due to the previous use of an planet, demi-planet, moonlet or other astronomical body for waste sequestration.

The judgement notes that this action was only brought after an attempt to litigate against the Vast Unknowable Entities From Dimensions Impossible failed when it was demonstrated the contract of sale included the presence of the waste sequestration repository, as well as the mid-trial ascension of the Vast Unknowable Entities From Dimensions Impossible to phases of being beyond the Court's jurisdiction.

Justice 📎   wrote a concurring opinion calling the plaintiffs "Fucking Slum Lords" and referring them to the SupraDimensional Administrative Tribunal. In subsequent action the SDAT ordered them to be UltraMurdered in a widely cited judgement widely praised and upheld on appeal.
