A happy belated birthday flem.

Go for gold McM - well done.

I've asked numerous times that this Court address the arguments already put forward by defence counsel and I at the time. I asked the Court to do this (and indeed to do this in future) primarily because it is good manners to do so but also because it allows future counsel to understand the law...

I'm referring to the gargantuan TNP v JAL (3 or is it 4?) as opposed to Flem v Gross. The current charges are two counts of treason, one of multying and one of fraud. By this court's ruling, all complaints must be prosecuted so regardless of my own opinions, I must submit all of said charges...

Just a minor addendum to this post so that the Court is aware. I will not be proceeding with the next case on my docket until this review is dealt with one way or another. So it is advisable that the Court makes it a priority.

Against.

Right - that should be all good :)

Against :P

A draft as promised: SECURITY CRISIS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC Rioting in the streets of nations throughout the North Pacific has been reported this evening following the resignation of the much loved nation Blue Wolf II. Reports suggest that protesters are threatening to move their protest to the...

Sounds good on all counts. PM me McM if I can be of assistance.

May the plundering be successful and the bounty plentiful.

I think SillyString has covered the bases with the great explanation above. The notion that the Court is subject to the FOIA is absurd and not something that anyone wants.

For! Of course we can poke him with a stick, he's a turtle after all :P

I like Lord Ravenclaw but I have to say I think that particular outburst was uncalled for and I also like you Aba but I don't think this warrants legislation. The message in question was posted in a cabinet-only section of the forum. This is by no means a "public" area. I think Eluvatar...

I would like to formally withdraw this request. I have however requested a review of both the fraud law (with some specific questions) and the legality of FOI requests of judicial records. As some of you may have found out, I personally don't agree with the inner workings of these decisions...

I would like the Court to answer this question once and for all. Is the judicial branch subject to the FOIA? In other words, are their inner workings subject to release as is the case with the executive branch? Thanks for your time, [me] Attorney General The North Pacific

I would like the Court to review the fraud law. Specifically the elements required but more than that I would like the Court to delve into the mens rea of "intention" and discuss what it believes is necessary to prove an "intentional deception". What specific elements are required to prove...

Elegarth is back! We can all rest a little easier.

Personally I don't think the inner logs should be released. I am certainly unhappy with the length of the decision though - perhaps a happy middle ground could be reached in reforms? i.e. make it clear that executive workings are the only thing subject to FOI requests but place a requirement...

Couldn't have put it better myself. Thank you - you were the "one" :P

Haha thanks Elu. I think I pointed out already how impressed I was with how you did considering time restraints etc as well :)

As per usual, McMasterdonia and I are roughly of the same opinion. I did what I thought was best at the time and I stick by it. Am I trying to justify it? I don't know about that. I'm saying that other people have done worse in this office and you're singling me out. It's particularly...

Apologies - I discussed this last night with COE briefly and I was drafting a response to what was said but I fell asleep before posting it. Anyway I'll post it here for the benefit of people anyway Anyway that's a great choice McM - I appreciate that you've taken this approach of dealing with...

On the contrary, the legal code contemplates an Attorney General could enter the office having opted to be defence counsel simply to avoid a trial he knows is going to happen. Countless AGs have opted to simply not try cases in their term that they do not agree with and yet your disdain has been...

Sounds fine to me.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! :) As I continue my term as Attorney General I want to note down a few of my musings and current developments so that everyone knows what is currently happening in the Office of the Attorney General. I'm currently actively pursuing a FOI...

Pursuant to section 6.2 of the Legal Code, I hereby petition the Delegate to seek out and release the Court discussion log from TNP v Grosseschnauzer.

For

I'm disappointed that this decision doesn't go into more detail. It seems entirely inadequate that an individual can state "I believe" and shield themselves from any liability for fraudulent statements. At any rate, I thank the Court for its swift deliberation on this matter.
