[PRE-TRIAL] Civil Suit: Lucklife et al v. Citizenship Office

The Conclave at large announces that it has received a civil suit from Commodore @Lucklife (Plaintiff from hereon) against the Citizenship Office (Defense from hereon). Defense has been accused of Violation of the Citizenship Act, Clause 3.7

The Pre-Trial process is thus begun.

The Pre-Trial date is set on 2025-07-15T02:00:00Z. On that day, the Conclave shall rule on the admissibility of this motion, determined by the merit and need for trial, and appoint the Presiding Arbiter. If the Conclave by unanimous vote rules the motion inadmissible, the case is dismissed. This action is not subject to appeal.

The Trial shall begin 3 days after Pre-Trial, July 17th. This is to allow Plaintiff and Defense time to settle on their arguments. Note that the Trial Date is subject to appeal; if any of the parties may choose to appeal it, it may be done.

Until then, all questions and concerns may be asked in this thread.

TO THE PLAINTIFF AND DEFENSE: Please send to me all evidence that shall be used in your arguments, via Discord. You may send as much evidence as you wish, however once July 14th arrives, no further evidence shall be considered. Due to a lack of legislation regarding witnesses, I shall state that you must include witnesses as part of your evidence, as well as how they are relevant to the case in hand. In addition, in a motion to introduce the witness, two kinds of objection may occur. First, objection to witness’ relevancy. This can be done when the motion occurs. If successful, the witness shall be disregarded. Second, objection to testimony’s relevancy. This can be done when a witness’ testimony is irrelevant to a case. If successful, the testimony shall be struck down, and removed from the Trial Record. Until then, all witness testimony shall be considered to be a part of Trial Record, provided that their testimony corresponds to a question asked by either Plaintiff or Defense.

Conclave Announcements:

@Shadow will recuse themselves in the matter of voting and the Trial as they have a STRONG conflict of Interest in the case. They will run the procedural vote and name a presiding Arbiter, but will not participate once those are completed.

Do relevant provisions of the law count as evidence to be sent?

Evidence is whatever the party believes to be beneficial to the party’s case

So any law cited in our arguments must be sent as evidence? Even if cited in the charge?

If you are only citing the stated act, no.

If you wish to cite other laws, yes.

As one of the EPSA Soldiers affected by the Citizenship Office’s decision, I hereby affirm to the Conclave that I consent to being represented by Lucklife for this civil suit.

As the citizenship of the 5 have been restored, I hereby withdraw this civil suit

As the petitioner has requested this to be withdrawn, the suit is hereby withdrawn.
