Hmmm. It looks like the rule describing how the Upper House can rule on 
CFIs got replaced by an appeals-oriented version without anything 
describing what happens when a CFI reaches them without an appeal.

I would interpret this to still work the way it used to, though, on the 
following grounds:
 * Given the standard english meaning of remanded, the Upper House is 
now the judge of the CFI itself.
 * Since the Upper House is a collection of players, that collection of 
players is now collectively the Judge of the CFI.
 * The Judge is required and empowered by the rules to judge this CFI; 
hence the collection of player is as a unit empowered to issue 
judgment.
 * There is only one reasonable way of getting a group of people to 
issue a single decision; hence, every member of the Upper House should 
submit a judgment, and once the allotted time for judging the CFI has 
passed, the most popular judgment will be the House's judgment.

This is consistent with the way the House worked prior to its 
rewording, and is also consistent with the wording and spirit of the 
rules.
