Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
AlexanderLove (represented by juniperfig)
Plaintiff
v.
Commonwealth of Redmont
Defendant
COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:
AlexanderLove was unfairly denied his rightful nomination as Secretary of the DCT. Acting President lcn ignored the proper constitutional process and refused to move the nomination forward, solely due to political bias. This decision violated AlexanderLove’s right to equal treatment under the law and set an unfair, baseless standard.
I. PARTIES
1. AlexanderLove (Plaintiff)
2. Commonwealth of Redmont (Defendant)
II. FACTS
1. President UnityMaster informed AlexanderLove that he would be nominated as Secretary of the Department of Construction and Transportation (DCT). (P-001)
2. UnityMaster also informed Vice President lcn of this decision. (P-002)
3. Vice President lcn assumed the role of Acting President during UnityMaster’s deportation. (P-003)
4. Acting President lcn did not follow his obligation to honor UnityMaster’s nomination of AlexanderLove as Secretary of the DCT. (P-004)
5. Acting President lcn dismissed President UnityMaster’s explicit nomination of AlexanderLove, claiming it was “not valid” through arbitrary, invented requirements for nomination validity. (P-004)
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. Redmont’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees every citizen the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without unfair discrimination, including on the basis of political belief (Section XIII).
By refusing to honor AlexanderLove’s nomination to Secretary of the DCT, Acting President lcn denied AlexanderLove equal benefit of the Constitutional nomination process and subjected AlexanderLove to unfair discrimination based on political belief.
2. Nomination of a Secretary, as outlined in the constitution, is a two-step process. First, the President nominates an individual for a role. Second, the Senate approves (or disapproves) the nomination.
President UnityMaster fulfilled the first step by explicitly stating his intent to nominate AlexanderLove. This created a legitimate expectation that AlexanderLove’s nomination would proceed to Senate approval, as per the constitution.
lcn arbitrarily bypassed this Constitutional process. There is nothing in the Constitution stating nominations must be announced publicly- AlexanderLove was unfairly subjected to a standard that does not exist.
Acting President lcn’s decision to disregard President UnityMaster’s nomination was rooted solely in a political shift in power and not in any legitimate or constitutional basis.
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:
1. $15,717 in compensatory damages for lost wages for the period of time between January 7, 2025 and February 15, 2025. January 7, 2025 was the day AlexanderLove’s nomination was meant to be announced according to P-002. February 15, 2025 would be the commencement of the next administration, when AlexanderLove would likely leave office. $15,717 was calculated by the following formula: ($260/hour * 1.55 hours/day * 39 days).
Secretaries are paid at a rate of $65 per 15 minutes of being active in-game. AlexanderLove is active in-game for an average of 1.55 hours per day (P-005). 39 days is the timespan specified above.
2. $30,000 in punitive damages. Violating a citizen’s constitutional right to equal treatment should be the dictionary definition of “outrageous conduct”, doubly so when these actions are done by the Acting President.
3. $25,000 in emotional damages. lcn’s dismissal of Alex’s nomination created a sense of betrayal, insecurity, and stress due to the unexpected and unjust nature of the decision. It also undermined AlexanderLove’s trust in the fairness of the government, causing ongoing anxiety about his standing in the community.
4. $35,000 in damages for Loss of Enjoyment. The arbitrary denial of this role deprived AlexanderLove of the fulfillment, satisfaction, and pride he would have gained from serving his community in this capacity. Alex furthermore began preparing policies and plans at this point for the Department that went to waste due to lcn’s decision to not honour legal process.
5. $31,715 in legal fees, 30% of the value of this case, to cover the costs the plaintiff incurred hiring juniperfig as his legal counsel in this case.
V. EVIDENCE
By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.
