Families cannot infringe on each other's "business.". A commission consisting of representatives from the leadership of each Family is charged with settling inter-Family disputes. A Family boss or member cannot murder a boss or member of another Family. If the individual indeed needs to be "taken out," his own Family has the right to do the job.
