SECTION III. ENDORSEMENT CAPS

6. An individual whose term as Delegate has elapsed and is still occupying the in-game Delegacy shall be exempt from the Endorsement Cap until the current Delegate or a Vizier takes the position.
…1. The Praesidium may nullify this exemption prior to its natural expiry if:

b) if the individual refuses to cooperate with the Praesidium in handing the in-game Delegacy over to the Delegate or Praesidium.
