As you might remember from past discussions, with the v26 runtime being in Polkadot, [a bug](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7384) that caused immature slashing of candidacy bonds in council was fixed, and now's the time to proceed with refunding affected accounts.

Based on our experience in Kusama Network, **Motion 43** aims to reimburse candidates and runners-up who were slashed due to this bug. In order to verify hash, please review this [gist](https://gist.github.com/kianenigma/93c3a86a72823a3f703c442e00929a0a) (generated using [this snippet](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-debug-kit/blob/b6b818ae1bc6a834f2010e8a58726231034ed8c1/remote-ext-elections-phragmen/js/src/index.ts#L597-L624)). The motion wraps all of the reimbursement calls inside a `utility.batch`, creating a single batch of force transfers from the treasury to the affected accounts. 
All councillors please vote at your convenience! If the motion passes, the proposal will be after voted by the community.

Original post can be found [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/165).

 Send a batch of dispatch calls.

 May be called from any origin.

 - `calls`: The calls to be dispatched from the same origin.

 If origin is root then call are dispatch without checking origin filter. (This includes
 bypassing `frame_system::Trait::BaseCallFilter`).

 # <weight>
 - Complexity: O(C) where C is the number of calls to be batched.
 # </weight>

 This will return `Ok` in all circumstances. To determine the success of the batch, an
 event is deposited. If a call failed and the batch was interrupted, then the
 `BatchInterrupted` event is deposited, along with the number of successful calls made
 and the error of the failed call. If all were successful, then the `BatchCompleted`
 event is deposited.

- There was a bug in Polkadot that caused some people to lose money.
- Motion 43 wants to give the money back to the people who lost it.
- They made a plan to transfer the money back to the affected accounts.
- The councillors will vote on whether to approve the plan.
- If the plan is approved, the community will vote on it too.
