Lawsuit: Pending Commonwealth of Redmont v. Stanley582 [2026] DCR 34

[Novakerbal]

Case Filing

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CRIMINAL ACTION

The Commonwealth of Redmont
Prosecution

v.

Stanley582
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Prosecution alleges criminal actions committed by the Defendant as follows:

On March 17th, 2026 the Defendant Stanley582 posted a campaign advertisement in the #campaign channel of the main DC discord server. This campaign advertisement made several claims, including the desire to abolish a sales tax, make the income tax progressive, provide free public healthcare, and exempting residential plots and town plots from the Auction Levy. Notably, each of these desires are already present in legislation, making it impossible for such promises to be fulfilled by the Defendants political party. This amounts to Misleading Advertising as the Defendant disseminated an advertisement with misleading substance and presentation pursuant to the Criminal Code Act Part VII §12(a).

I. PARTIES
1. Stanley582 (Defendant)(Forum Account: Hamilton3812)
2. Commonwealth of Redmont (Prosecution)

II. FACTS
1. On March 17th, 2026, Stanley582 posted a Campaign advertisement in the #campaign channel containing statements including "Abolish sales tax to keep goods affordable." "Make income tax progressive so the rich pay more and the poor pay less." "Exempt R-Plots and Town Plots from the auction levy." and "Provide free public healthcare." (P-001).
2. There is currently no Sales Tax, as the Taxation Act §11(1) sets the Sales Tax percentage at 0%.
3. Income Taxation is already progressive, as the Taxation Act §4(2) establishes a progressive taxation bracket system where poor players pay no taxes on balances, while rich players pay more.
4. Residential Plots and Town Plots are already exempt from the auction levy, as the Plot Regulations Act §3(1)(a) states "Town plots, wild plots, and residential plots shall be exempt from both the tax itself and the calculations for the tax."
5. Free Public Healthcare is already enshrined in legislation, as the Redmontian Health Services Act establishes a state-funded free public healthcare system, Medicare. Furthermore, the DOH Medicare Policy establishes full coverage of all non-pharmacy treatments, making them free for all citizens who participate in Medicare.
5. All the above listed statements are misleading, as it is impossible for a political party or individual to promise a policy or legislation change when the desired outcome is already law.

III. CHARGES
The Prosecution hereby alleges the following charges against the Defendant:
1. 1 Count of Misleading Advertising, given that the dissemination of misleading statements is illegal pursuant to The Criminal Code Act Part VII, §12.

IV. SENTENCING
The Prosecution hereby recommends the following sentence for the Defendant:
1. A 50 Penalty Unit Fine, and 0 minutes of imprisonment, with respect to One Count of Misleading Advertising.

Evidence List:

Spoiler: P-001

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.

DATED: This 28th day of March, 2026

Court Order

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
Order to Show Cause

As per the Complaint, the Commonwealth alleges that Defendant made misleading statements in #campaign on the Discord. The Charter, as enshrined in §35 (6), permits the "Freedom of Political Communication." Without considering the specifics of what was misleading, the Court is concerned that Defendant's speech is otherwise covered under the Charter.


@Novakerbal The CW shall have 72 hours to express why this action does not conflict with Defendant's Charter rights.


The Federal Court in Commonwealth v. AtomicRedstoner [2026] FCR 6 dismissed charges for legal insufficiency, thus the District Court proceeds under a similar framework with a constitutional concern.


So ordered,
Judge Mug, in the District Court

 

[Novakerbal]

Your Honor,

May the Commonwealth have a 24 hour extension in order to properly respond?
