Case Filing
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
corstkiller00 (represented by MZLD)
Plaintiff
v.
DeltaruneTMRW
Defendant
COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:Earlier this month, Corstkiller00 rented two floors of plot c222 from DeltaruneTMRW. DeltaruneTMRW—presumably unhappy with the low rents they posted on the sign—arbitarily denied Corstkiller00 their property, and demanded further payments. DeltaruneTMRW removed lift access to the property and barred the windows. This is outrageous conduct that must be compensated by the Court.
I. PARTIES
- corstkiller00 (Plaintiff)
- DeltaruneTMRW (Defendant)
II. FACTS
- On 4 October 2025, corstkiller00 rented the second floor in plot c222 (see exhibit P-001).
- On 6 October 2025, corstkiller00 rented another floor (the third floor) in plot c222 (see exhibit P-002).
- Corstkiller00 paid $250 for each rental, for a total of $500.
- Corstkiller00 paid for these plots using the in-game sign renting system.
- DeltaruneTMRW, the Defendant, is the owner of plot c222.
- Corstkiller00 therefore formed a contract with DeltaruneTMRW to rent the two floors.
- Corstkiller00 runs a casino in their rented property.
- On 12 October, DeltaruneTMRW:
- installed bars across the windows of the two rented floors (see exhibit P-003); and
- removed the lift access to the two floors.
- The effect and intent of DeltaruneTMRW's actions was to deprive Corstkiller00 of access to his lawfully-rented property.
- DeltaruneTMRW demanded additional payments in order to restore access to Corstkiller00's property, including a proportion of Corstkiller00’s profit (see exhibit P-004 and P-005).
- After interventions by counsel, DeltaruneTMRW eventually removed the bars and restored lift access.
- Corstkiller00 was not able to operate their casino business without access to their property.
- Corstkiller00 has not been compensated for harm caused while access to their property was blocked.
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. Breach of Contract (§7 of the Contracts Act)
Plaintiff and Defendant formed a contract through the sign-rent plugin. Plaintiff paid $500. Defendant rented the two regions to Plaintiff for 30 days. This is a standard rental contract: the five elements of a contract clearly exist.As with any rental contract, there is an implied term (§5(1) of the Contracts Act) that binds the landlord to ensure the tenant has access to their rented property. A rental contract where the landlord can arbitrarily deny the tenant access does not make sense.
Defendant breached this implied term by removing lift access and placing bars across the windows. Firstly, Plaintiff suffered harm since they were no longer able to operate their business. Customers could not access their premises and casino operations ceased. Secondly, Defendant's conduct is outrageous (§5 of the Legal Damages Act). Without any legal right, Defendant denied Plaintiff their business in order to arbitrarily demand higher rent. In other words, Defendant held Plaintiff to ransom.
2. Breach of Good Faith and Fair Dealing (§14 of the Contracts Act)
Further to the direct breach of contract alleged above, Defendant breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under §14 of the Contracts Act. Plainly, it is neither "good faith" or "fair dealing" to deliberately breach a contract for pecuniary gain.Again, by holding Plaintiff to ransom for increased payments, Defendant’s conduct was outrageous.
3. Wrongful Eviction (§9 of Part VIII, Criminal Code Act)
Defendant's actions amounted to wrongful eviction under the Criminal Code Act. Until Plaintiff's property rights were restored by counsel's intervention, Plaintiff was unable to access their property, and thus, was effectively evicted from their property. This constructive eviction should be recognised at law as a breach of Plaintiff's rights, and civil damages should be awarded.4. Trespass (tort action)
Plaintiff further alleges a novel tort action. As far as Plaintiff knows, Redmont law does not recognise a cause of action in tort for trespass. The Criminal Code Act recognises trespass as either (1) a breach of landlord notice requirements; or (2) "remain[ing] in a non-public or restricted area against instructions". See §9 of Part VII, Criminal Code Act. Neither of these particularly cover Defendant’s conduct. Plaintiff is not pursuing a breach of notice requirements claim, and Plaintiff cannot claim that Defendant remained in a non-public area. After all, Plaintiff's business was open to the public (including Defendant).But Plaintiff must be compensated for the harm Defendant has caused by breaching their property rights. A right without a remedy is no right at all. So Plaintiff urges the Court to recognise a new cause of action in tort at the common law. The elements of the tort would be:
- That a person is in lawful possession of real property (whether by ownership, renting, or otherwise).
- That a third party trespasses onto that property and damages the property.
- Damages.
If the Court finds a cause of action under this heading, then Plaintiff further alleges that Defendant’s tort constituted outrageous behaviour as it demonstrated a flagrant disregard for Plaintiff’s property rights.
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:- Compensatory damages of $10,000 for loss of casino business.
- Consequential damages of $20,000 for loss of enjoyment in Redmont.
- Punitive damages of $40,000 for outrageous violations of Plaintiff's property rights.
- An injunction prohibiting Defendant from interfering with Plaintiff's legitimate property rights.
- Legal fees at the standard 30% rate (§9 of the Legal Damages Act).
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.
