Guilherme Cundari was the first Minister of Justice, one of those responsible for the creation and first president of the Court of Justice as Palatine of the Court of Justice and a nobleman. He is also the most reputed jurist of the Empire, being the principal author of the Imperial Constitution of 2017, since he was the President of the Constitutional Comission.

Micronational life
He was appointed on 09 December 2016 to the newly established Ministry of Justice, the governmental body responsible for implementing actions to provide access to justice, to increase confidence in the justice system, and uphold people’s civil rights. In his nomination, the Imperial Decree n. 063-2016 by Oscar I expressed the justification of the choice for the position: a figure of notable juridical knowledge and unquestionable character, being able to administer Justice in the Empire, as well as to undertake the creation of a Court fit for our demands, being a very excellent jurist, of proven quality and very respected. On 27 January 2017, after a series of audiences with the Emperor-King, Hochbach convinced him to create the Court of Justice, which had him as its first president with the title of Palatine of the Court. Thus, he had the great task of organizing the Judiciary Power of the Empire. The next month, Hochbach had a large participation in a campaign for reforms in government that culminated in the February Manifesto, calling for a modern constitution to be promulgated (until then, the two national constitutions had been granted), and then to modernize the rest of the legislation and subsequently modernize the government. After an audience of more than five hours with the Emperor-King on the night of 09 February 2017, on the following day the Constitutional Commission was established. Presided by Hochbach, the commission was formed by Nicolas Grangier, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Christian of Letzembourg, Grand Duke of Letzembourg and Thomas of Cumagne, the King of Cumagne. The works of the Comission ended on 31 July 2017. For his works to the Empire and loyalty to the Emperor, he was made "Prince of Wigmaransz" on 03 August 2017, title that was made extinct in the following year when Oscar I created the House of Hochbach-Kundarheim and creating the new title of Prince Kundarheim. During the Democratic Manifestations of November 2018, Hochbach insisted on defending the Constitution against the political leaders of the Patriotic Party who called for the convening of elections by the end of the year and put forward his arguments in a long meeting mediated by the Emperor. After make possible the general elections of 2019, he renounced his position as Minister of Justice on 02 July 2018, being succeeded by Johannis Sauerbronn.
