Agreement of jurisdiction (Urabba Parks)
The agreement of jurisdiction enables the legal system of the Enactorate of Urabbaparcensia (formerly Urabba Parks Pty Ltd), and was established as a provision of the Urabbaparcensian Constitution that was adopted on the establishment of jurisdiction on 5 March 2021. A party to the agreement is required to attend the corporate judiciary when required to answer a charge of disciplinary offences (disciplinary jurisdiction), or to give evidence in proceedings (in both disciplinary and grievance proceedings). If a person does not answer to the judicial bodies when required, they may be suspended indefinitely from crossing the Urabbaparcensian border or taking part in meetings of the members.

The agreement of jurisdiction is located in subsection 7(2) of the Urabbaparcensian Constitution.[Constitution 1]

Entry into agreement
The Urabbaparcensian Constitution has the effect of a contract between Urabba Parks Pty Ltd, its members, directors and secretaries. Other persons may chose to become subject to the agreement of jurisdiction but unless a person is a party to the Constitution by virtue of being a shareholder or officer, they cannot have any governance rights (such as the right to elect officers).
Under subsection 7(3) of the Constitution, the company enters into the agreement in respect of the enacting component of the legislature and each entity having succession (i.e. an 'internal legal entity' having status under the company's legal system).[Constitution 2]
Under section 8 of the Constitution, the resignation, cessation or resumption of membership by a person does not affect a person's obligations under the agreement of jurisdiction.[Constitution 3]
