10th Parliament v. Scott (Petition for Certiorari)

[Sestak]

10TH PARLIAMENT OF FREMONT, Petitioner

v.

A. SCOTT, First Minister of Fremont, et al.

PETITION TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF FREMONT FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI

Petitioner is filing for the nullification of all actions taken by defendants (the First Minister and members elected to the 11th Parliament) between the hours of 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM Eastern Standard time today, the 24th of April 2019.

The Constitution of Fremont makes it clear that the term of Parliament begins at 12 PM EST. A meeting earlier that would be a strict violation of this and causes harm to petitioner by allowing its subsequent session to meet for extra time which it is expressly forbidden from using.

Thus, petitioner asks that all official business, including the opening of Parliament and Speaker nominations, that occurred during this hour be nullified in order to remedy this.

While the Court considers this petition, I should note to the Honorable Justices that besides the fact that the merits of this lawsuit are invalid (members, in fact, did swear in after 12 PM ET today), the "opening of Parliament" is not a constitutional occurrence, but only an extra-constitutional ceremony.  Several MPs also nominated YE for the Speakership after the period which the 11th Parliament was supposed to have started according to the plaintiff.  Legislation was also introduced, but private citizens are already allowed to do so.  The actions of the 11th Parliament today would stand regardless.

(Credit to MP Harry S Truman for pointing this all out to me.)

That's the problem with the broken Atlasian legal system. Standing needs to be a requirement to sue. There is no injury here and no remedy ... so whats the point of wasting everyone's time with a lawsuit again?

I thank Deeply Disturbing for this case, and other commentors for their amicus brief. Petitioner is correct that the Constitution of the Commonweath of Fremont says the beginning of the session is at noon Eastern Standard Time.  However, petitioner has not established an injury as a part of this trial; if the members of the Tenth Parliament had wished to introduce legislation or conduct government in the hour of overlap, no attempt was made to do so. Further, there is no non-frivolous remedy available to the Court. Although, certainly, the acts conducted within that hour could have been overturned, they would simply be restored immediately. As no injury resulted from this mistake, and no remedy is available to the court, I have decided to deny certiorari in this case.

Well, didn’t expect differently tbh.

Thank you for your time, Justice Ilikeverin.
