IN THE HONOURABLE CHANCERY OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
CIVIL ACTION
Case No.
15

BETWEEN:

Rubilubi55

(Plaintiff)

V.

The Crown
(Defendant)

1. Jurisdictional Statement
According to K.A. Const. § III Art. 15 "The Chancery is the highest court of the nation, with exclusive jurisdiction over constitutional questions, including the interpretation and application of the Constitution", it should therefore rule on this case, as the claims are mostly based on Articles from the Alexandrian Constitution.

2. Parties
Rubilubi55
The Congress (represented by the Crown)

3. Facts
1. On the 28th of July 2025, King WackJap assented the Government Organization Act (A.P. 01-044).
2. Section 6, Article 3 of A.P. 01-044 cites the following: "All procedural rules of parliament are to be adjudicated by parliament, and no other body shall have the authority to make determinations on the internal procedures of the Parliamentary body.", and therefore disallows parliament to give any branch of government, including themselves, unchecked and unregulated power.
3. K.A. Const. § 1 Art. 2(10) cites: "Constitutional Checks and Balances: Parliament ensures no branch of government has unchecked power."
4. Section 6, Article 3 of A.P. 01-044 gives the parliament an unchecked power by disallowing other branches of government from interfering with the process.
5. Section 6, Article 3 of A.P. 01-044 is therefore unconstitutional and should be stricken from the Government Organizations Act (A.P. 01-044).

4. Claims for Relief
1. The plaintiff in this case has a reasonable interest in this case, as it violates the Constitution and the democratic principle of Checks and Balances, also violating his democratic rights as a citizen of Alexandria.
2. Even though the intent of Section 6, Article 3 of A.P. 01-044 may be to disallow the executive from changing the internal procedures of the parliament, the intent of this law does not matter. Matters is what this law objectively says. Due to a vague definition many things are unclear. The law could prohibit the Judiciary from interfering should the parliament not follow their standing orders, due to a very vague definition this could also allow the Parliament, or the Speaker, to not follow the laws set out for the Legislative in A.P. 01-044 or other significant laws and rules.
3. The parliament therefore violates their constitutional duty of keeping Checks and Balances, by technically giving themselves the power to not follow, the laws and rules set by them for them without fearing Judiciary intervention.

5. Prayers for Relief
1. Section 6, Article 3 of A.P. 01-044 to be struck as unconstitutional.
2. Apology from the Parliament for violating their constitutional responsibility to keep Checks and Balances.

Respectfully submitted this 22nd day of September 2025 by Rubilubi55.

ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
Case No.
15

Facts
1.
Admitted
2. Denied. This isn't a fact but a argument. This section affirms parliaments ability to determine their own internal procedural rules. It applies specifically to the internal procedures of parliament, and does not apply to any laws or executive actions. It is in the same vein that the Court may determine its own internal operating procedures and general operating procedures, and how the Executive may determine their own internal operating procedures within their own ministries so long as they conform to the law.
3. Admitted.
4. Denied. This isn't a fact but an argument.
5. Denied. This isn't a fact but an argument.

4. Claims for Relief
1.
Denied.
2. Denied. The Court has no authority under law to interpret parliaments internal operating procedures as they are not laws.
3. Denied. The standing orders are not laws. They perform no legal function and the Executive does not execute them. As there is no law to interpret, the court has no jurisdiction.

OPENING STATEMENT


Your honour,
Checks and Balances is the most important principle in a democratic system. With K.A. Const. § 1 Art. 2(10) the founders of this nation had given the Parliament the duty to keep and protect those Checks and Balances. Against this principle of our Constitution, the Parliament enacted the Government Organization Act. This Act, or especially Section 6, Article 3 of this Act, violates the above stated principle by taking the other branches right to check the Parliament on their internal proceedings. This makes the system unbalanced and could, harm the Kingdom of Alexandria. The other branches, or especially the Judiciary, should have the power to check the Parliament, also on procedural rules.

The arguments the defendant brought up in 3.2, 4.2. and 4.3 are partially right. It is right that the standing orders are not getting executed by the Executive, on the other hand it is wrong that the standing orders do not perform any other legal function. They do rule how Parliament runs its own business and how it passes bills. It does have a legal function, and every citizen should be able to sue in front of a Court, should the Parliament not follow these rules. Additionally, while yes, the Judiciary, as well as the Executive, can give themselves their own standing orders or policies acting as procedural rules, these standing orders, policies, etc. can be overridden by laws passed by the parliament. This gives the parliament the power to check both branches. The Judiciary does also have the power to interfere with policies or other procedural rules by the Executive, a.e. when these are against the Constitution or given law. With this as a base it would be unreasonable and unbalanced to take away the Judiciary's right to interfere with Parliament's procedure should they not follow their own procedural rules or should their procedural rules be unconstitutional or against any existent law.

Thank you.

Respectfully submitted,
Rubi Semsrott-Sloth (Rubilubi55)
