IN THE MAGISTRATE COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
PETITION

Ko531
Plaintiff

v.

The Crown
Defendant

INTRODUCTION
This is a Petition to the court to review the classification status of information. The information in question is the discussions between chancellors about Entreaty for Prior Ponderance 1 (Ch. 2025) in which was declassified immediately after the verdict as set in 4(7) of the Government Information Act. This same section also allows the Chancery to deem parts of the information classified. Yet the Chancery denied the entirety of this FOI request as classified information. It is hard to see how any of the information about potential damages in the outback would be deemed classified let alone all of it. So as set in 9(3) of the Government Information Act, I am petitioning the Magistrate court to review the classification level of these discussions.


I. PARTIES
1. Ko531
2. The Crown

II. FACTS
1. The Government Information Act section 4(7) states: " Judicial discussions for ongoing court cases are classified by default and no player outside the discussion may be given access to view them, regardless of clearance. The classification expires when the verdict is announced, however the Chancery may classify parts of the discussion to prevent confidential evidence from being released."
2. The verdict for Entreaty for Prior Ponderance 1 (Ch. 2025) was released on May 4th causing the classification on the Chancery's discussions to expire
3. On May 7th, I (ko531) made a FOI request to view the chancery's discussions on ENtraty for Prior Ponderance 1 (Ch. 2025)
4. This FOI request was denied as the entire discussion was deemed classified.
5. The Government Information act 9(3) states: "Any citizen or government body with a significant interest in classified information can request the Magistrates Court to determine whether or not said information is justly classified. This request pertains to all classifications."

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. Section 9(3) of the Government Information act states: "Any citizen or government body with a significant interest in classified information can request the Magistrates Court to determine whether or not said information is justly classified. This request pertains to all classifications." As a citizen who has a significant interest in this classified information, I am Petitioning the Magistrates Court to review and determine whether or not the Chancery's discussion and deliberations on Entreaty for Prior Ponderance 1 (Ch. 2025) is justly classified.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
1. Release any and all information deemed not justly classified to myself (ko531) as per my FOI request made to the MOJ.

Your honour,

The Chancery requests to submit an Amicus Curiae brief regarding the following:

The constitutionality of the Government Information Act,
The separation of powers between Parliament and the Courts.

The Chancery understands that such a request is unusual before acknowledgement of a petition. However, the Chancery believes this unusual request is the lesser of two harms, and thus I humbly offer this request to you.

Pro aeterna secta justitiae, et coronae aeternae vitae.

Permission to respond to the Amicus Curiae request? I believe I have insight that would show that this type of brief can't be heard which would be important to consider before ruling on this request.

As The Chancery is a party of significant relevance to this case, the court denies this request for an Amicus Curiae brief.​

With the Amicus Curiae brief having been denied, this request is subsequently redundant. The request to respond is denied.​

DEFENSES
After significant investigation, the Crown believes the Government Information Act is unconstitutional, and thus cannot be enforced. We will elaborate in our Opening Statements.

As we're well past the period for discovery, the plaintiff will have 72 hours to provide their Opening statements.​
 
I request a 24 hour extension as I have been busy with Finals and family matters the last 3 days
 
Granted, you will have an additional 24 hours from the original deadline.​
 
IN THE MAGISTRATE COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
OPENING STATEMENT

This case is extremely clear, the Government Information Act deems the Magistrate court as the court of disputed returns when it comes to the classification status of information. I was denied my FOI request by the chancery with no reason attached so I am exercising my right challenging to see if the classified information is justly classified. The Government Information Act also gives the ability to classified certain parts of requested information but the Chancery failed to do this and classified everything. It is hard to believe that every message sent between one another when deciding the Entreaty for Prior Ponderance 1 (Ch. 2025) is justly classified.

The Defense is claiming the Government Information Act is unconstitutional yet this court can not hear or decide such arguments. Something like the constitutionality of a bill is something the Chancery must decide but yet they are an interested party in this matter.

For these reasons, this is why I am petitioning the Magistrate Court to review the classified information and deem exactly what is and isn't justly classified and to release the unclassified material to myself as per my FOI request.
 
The Crown will have 72 hours to provide their Opening Statements.​
 
IN THE MAGISTRATE'S COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
OPENING STATEMENT

ON CONSTITUTIONALITY
The Constitution establishes that "The Chancery is the highest court of the nation" (see Alexandrian Constitution, Part III, Section 15). As such, the Magistrate's Court is not able to override the Chancery's decisions.

The Government Information Act side-steps this Constitutional clause, stating "Any citizen or government body with a significant interest in classified information can request the Magistrates Court to determine whether or not said information is justly classified. This request pertains to all classifications" which allows the Magistrate's Court to overturn the Chancery's decision, which is unconstitutional.

ON THE MAGISTRATE'S COURT'S POWERS
The Plaintiff claims:
The Defense is claiming the Government Information Act is unconstitutional yet this court can not hear or decide such arguments. Something like the constitutionality of a bill is something the Chancery must decide but yet they are an interested party in this matter.

And the Defense vehemently denies this claim. The Magistrate's court can hear and decide such arguments, so long as the Plaintiff's Case-in-Chief is not itself a question of constitutionality.

However, if the Plaintiff is correct (although the Defense argues they are not), then this lawsuit must be dismissed as this would put this case under the jurisdiction of the Chancery.
 
As no witnesses testimony has been requested by either party, the court will hear closing statements now.
Starting with the Plaintiff they will have 72 hours to provide their statements.
Following that, The Crown will have 72 hours to provide their statements.​
 
Your honor, depending on the timeline of when the Plaintiff responds, I may be temporarily unavailable as I will be out of state over the Memorial Day Weekend.

I request an extension until Wednesday evening (EDT) if possible.

IN THE MAGISTRATE COURT OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
CLOSING STATEMENT

This is an open and shut case being made unnecessarily complicated by the crown. All this case is trying to do is have the Magistrate court review the classification status of material and deem what truly is and isn't classified. This is a power given to the Magistrate court inside of the Government Information Act. Yet the crown claims that the Government Information act is unconstitutional as it allows the Magistrate court to overrule the higher Chancery court. This statement may be true at very first glance but after a deeper dive, it is actually false.

The chancery works by majority vote between the three chancellors. A single chancellor can not make a decision on their own without consulting the others. Therefore any decision made only by a single chancellor is not a decision by the Chancery court. The Government Information Act section 9(2)(a)(ii) give the power to decide whether FOI requests are reasonable to the High Chancellor and only the High Chancellor. As the High Chancellor alone can not make decision for the entire Chancery court, the Magistrate court would not be out of line overruling the higher court's order. The Classification of the requested information was not made officially by the Chancery as two of the three chancellors, even if they agreed, have no power over making decisions on FOI requests.

This all means the Government Information Act does not violate the constitution and this court very much can review the classified information and deem what can and can't be released. This outcome is best for all parties as the information that truly needs to stay classified can stay justly classified while information that isn't justly classified by this over reaching classification status set by the High Chancellor can be released as per my FOI request.
