Laws pertaining to Level 5 planets
Galactic law said that developing worlds classed as Level 5 planets (such as Earth in the 21st century and earlier) could not be approached for legal matters. They had no jurisdiction over the planet, and methods such as an H₂O scoop must be used to transport any places required to be visited to neutral territory, such as the Moon. (TV: Smith and Jones)

(TV: Partners in Crime)
