IN THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
APPEAL
Ko531
Plaintiff
v.
The Crown
Defendant
BASIS FOR APPEAL
The Magistrate court dismissed the case for the reason that the law has been changed causing the need for new arguments to be made and stating that the requested prayers of relief would operate against the current law if granted today. Both of these stances in essence applies the currently law retroactively to previous actions which is incorrect.
The law at the time of the cases filling and at the time of the actions in question should be the only law taken into consideration. If there is a change in the law, that change should have no bearing on any active litigation. There are many legal concepts that touch on this idea or similar ideas such as Ex post Facto, non-retroactivity principle and in the US, there is the Landgraf Rule. Any decision made by the magistrate court that takes into consideration the new law, The Freedom of Information Act, would be an incorrect application of the law but to outright dismiss the case would lead to a miscarriage of justice. The court should have only focused on the Government Information Act as that was the law at the time of filing. For this reason, I ask this court to reverse the dismissal by the lower court.
