Resolution Considers Ongoing Relationships Between Parties
Category: Tsm’syen Law Page status: Working
Purpose
This entry records the principle that resolution must account for ongoing relationships between parties. Resolution is not a single event but a process that considers continued interaction, responsibility, and coexistence after harm has occurred.
General Principle
- Resolution considers ongoing relationships between parties.
- Resolution addresses future interaction, not only past harm.
- Resolution is shaped by the need for continued coexistence.
- Finality without relational repair is not true resolution.
Ongoing Relationships
- Parties often remain connected through family, house, clan, or community.
- Relationships may continue through shared land, work, or responsibility.
- Resolution must support safe and functional future relations.
- Ignoring ongoing relationships creates future harm.
Application
- Resolution includes dialogue and acknowledgment.
- Resolution anticipates future conduct and responsibility.
- Resolution may involve continued obligations, not one-time acts.
- Resolution is confirmed through sustained balance over time.
Limits
- Resolution does not require reconciliation where harm continues.
- Resolution does not erase boundaries or accountability.
- Resolution cannot be imposed without regard for future impact.
- Resolution is invalid if it creates new or lasting imbalance.
