Once the judicial issue has passed, I would look at changing that part of the policy (depending on how it's worded). From what you've said, it sounds like the council bylaws are contradicting themselves. This basically allows groups to host functions under the premise that they are trying to get recognized by the council, but all they may wind up doing is having the socials (and not completing the rest of the recognition process). You've created a no win situation there.

If your council wants these groups to show that they will be productive, participating members of the community, they could look at a probationary period of recognition, in which the new group would have to complete the above tasks in a certain time frame, or show that it's required in their bylaws, or something similar.

Hopefully your coucil advisor is working to get things going on the right track.
