A legal issue can only be resolved if all those concerned are present during the process. In addition the procedure must comply with all aspects of monastic law.

Bi As 1–7: The settling of legal issues

Bi As 2: 2. Resolution through Recollection

If a nun is known for her clarity of memory, any accusations against her may be settled through that nun declaring her innocence based on her memory of the relevant events.

Bi As 3: 3. Resolution Because of Past Insanity

A nun who is insane is not responsible for her own offenses. Any offenses she may have committed while insane can be cleared through a declaration of past insanity.

Bi As 4: 4. Admittance

All offenses, except those entailing expulsion, should be cleared by making amends in the appropriate manner.

Bi As 5: 5. Majority Decision

A dispute that drags on without resolution may be settled through majority vote.

Bi As 6: 6. Further Penalty

A nun who is intractable in regard to the offenses she has committed may be subject to an act of censure.

Bi As 7: 7. Covering over as if with Grass

If a dispute involves a number of offenses on both sides, and the Order considers that dealing with all the offenses in the usual manner is likely to lead to harshness or schism, then the Order may decide to do a procedure whereby all the offenses are cleared. Offenses that cannot be cleared in this way are those entailing expulsion and suspension, as well as any offenses that involve lay people.
