CFJ 2761. Also the distinction between rights and abilities in 101(i) might be relevant. I'm not sure that's enough though, given that we have a person who we've explicitly restricted with CANNOT (e.g. with R2125 for general actions) rather than a person who "naturally" can't do so. Finally, the way the CFJ itself is phrased here, it's possible that the "limited" is a statement of fact, but not one that we need to do anything about. I really should have called this case about deregistration, which is (perhaps) a "stronger" right. If you're willing to extend your precedent to consider deregistration as well, that would be very helpful. -G.
