Lawsuit: In Session Nimq_ vs Crown, Case 2 (Mag. Ct., 2025)

In the Magistrate of Alexandria
Closing Statement​

---

Honorable Magistrate,
Let us review the facts of this case once more in determining damages:
On the first day of Alexandria being open to the public, the Claimant decided to run around, fall, and take 2 hearts of damage. This has already been deemed a failure on behalf of the Crown.

On Compensatory Damages​

When looking at making the Claimant whole, we need to keep in mind that the Claimant has not provided any proof whatsoever that they were damaged beyond the hearts, especially “shock, fright, and a momentary loss of security and control”. Beyond their own words, what proof of other damages are there? None. £5 makes the Claimant whole.

On Punitive Damages​

Again, context matters. This was the first day of Alexandria and the Crown had only just begun running the country at the moment of this incident. I think we must ask ourselves: what would a reasonable citizen do after falling? They would probably start by letting the Crown know what occurred so it can be fixed as soon as possible. Instead the Claimant went straight to the courts for remedy. Then the Claimant asks for an extreme amount of damages to the tune of £1,000 for punitive damages. The Claimant brings up that asking the Crown to fix the issue is enough saying “it does not address the negligence that already occurred, nor does it compensate the Plaintiff for their injury” the Claimant is obviously trying to (intentionally or not) get more Compensatory Damages by way of Punitive ones.
