According to the Stratham Bar Association Act, the minister of justice is tasked with overseeing the administration of the bar association. Nightmare has been Minister of Justice since March 13th and the SBA act has been in law since March 16th.

V. Damages
1. We are asking for the removal of Nightmare98765 from their position of Minister of Justice.
2. We are also asking that Nightmare98765 be barred from holding public office until the next election period.

Your Honor,

I would like to start by mentioning that the Stratham Bar Association Act is very vague in its wording, leaving many questions to be answered by interpretation. The minister creates rules and qualifications but when is the election cycle? Is it at the same time as the parliament/PM election cycle or does the DoJ minister have to create the cycles themselves? What proportion of members to delegates will there be in the SBA? What is the timeline for all of these tasks to be accomplished?

With so many questions left unanswered, things are bound to slow down and confusion is inevitable. The most important question is what the timeline for the creation of the House of Delegates is. If that is not stated, is it meant to be implied? If so, is the creation of this House of Delegates not done according to the Minister’s timeline?

I understand that this is a matter of fulfilling constitutional duties. What I fail to understand is how a deadline for fulfilling duties is created without being officially stated. Among the many problems of the SBA Act, the largest and most relevant to this case is how open it is to interpretation among both the Minister of Justice and the people. While I do appreciate citizens keeping Ministers accountable, without being given a clear directive, what is a Minister expected to do in a realm in which the position does not typically take part in?

Thank you.

Good Evening,

I would first of all like to apologise for the late reply, I was busy over the weekend and was unable to get to this until today.

Although bharatj failed to respond in the allotted time on this thread, he did privately contact me to ask for an extension which I granted but forgot to put on this thread, so I will be allowing for this case to continue. I would however like to request that all parties reply to this thread when requesting extensions to ensure this does not happen again.

Continuing with the case, the Plaintiff @IAmA_MoronXD now has 48 hour to present their opening statement.

That is all,
Thank you

Your honor, opposing counsel, this is a case about a minister ignoring responsibility and delaying progress in the legal community. As setup in the SBA act, the minister of justice is responsible for creating the bar association. So far, no progress has been made and we have nearly reached the end of the term. It is imperative that we hold ministers accountable to their responsibilities.

The Defence has elected to not present an opening statement. As per procedure, we will now be moving on to witness testimony.

If either party has questions, they are more than welcome to ask.

That is all,
Thank you

Good afternoon your honor, opposing counsel. This case is simple, the minister ignored his responsibility and delayed progress in the legal system. The defendant has made no progress following the SBA act despite having almost a entire term. This case is simple and I ask that you rule in my favor to set a precedent showing no one is above the law. Thank you.

Your Honor,

Seen as Nightmare is no longer DoJ Minister, the damages being requested by the plaintiff are not possible to grant. However, that being said, I believe the plaintiff and I can both agree on the fact that the Stratham Bar Association should be created as soon as possible.

While it is ideal that any direct is acted upon in a timely manner, how is it sensible to argue that an action wasn't taken by a certain time without a timeline being attached to the legislation? With that in mind, I would also like this case to serve as a request to parliament to clarify the questions asked previously regarding the Stratham Bar Association Act so that it may properly be created.

Thank you.

Good Evening,

Seeing that Judge Cherub is currently in Parliament and not actively part of the Judiciary, I will be making the final ruling on this case. I will allow 48 hours for either party to bring up any issues they have with my ruling or present any new and/or additional information. After those 48 hours, I will fully review the case and make a ruling.

That is all,
Thank You
