Comments concerning Party (upper left quadrant of the diagram):
 
1) It seems that Party can be of type Person, Organization, Judicial Official or Enforcement Officer
2) Subclasses of Party would be plaintiff, defendant, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, (victim, witness, etc, etc)
3) Defendant can be of type Person or Organization [In some jurisdictions organizations receive citations for such things as building code and health code violations. Therefore we have to assume that there will be some type of financial or business sanction issued against them that does not include incarceration, but can include financial obligations or the inability to continue to do business until certain conditions are met.]
4) Plaintiff can be any of the Party types.
5) A "Service Notice" issuer would be a judicial official (or enforcement officer?).
6) A Service Notice recipient would be a party/defendant.
 
If others agree that the above is true, the arrows in the diagram need to be redrawn.
 
Are others comfortable with "conditions" being a description? Seems to me that we are losing a great deal of detail that would be valuable. For example, a condition that the subject of a sentence is to vacate a home or business and not travel within some distance of the home or business is common. The address of the home or business should be provided in detail. Measures (i.e. distance) are specified in detail in most other constructs, why not in conditions?
 
Financial Obligations: If payments are to be made to a victim or witness, shouldn't there be a connection between financial obligation or payment to party to indicate who will receive the payment?
