PART I: INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION
This Part sets out the guiding principles, definitions, and legal standards that govern how this Code is to be read, understood, and enforced. It provides the foundational framework for interpreting offences, resolving conflicts of law, and ensuring the fair and consistent application of justice across the Commonwealth of Redmont.
1 - Common Law Principles
(1) This Code shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the principles of natural justice and common law unless expressly excluded. Judicial reasoning and precedent may inform interpretation and application of this Code where the law is silent or ambiguous.
2 - Purpose and Spirit of the Law
(1) This Code shall be interpreted to give effect to its purpose and the spirit of the law. Courts and enforcement bodies must avoid construing provisions in a manner that produces absurd, unjust, or unintended results.
3 - Codification of Criminal Law
(1) This Code constitutes the exclusive and exhaustive listing of criminal offences within the jurisdiction of Redmont.
(2) No person may be charged with a criminal offence unless that offence is contained within this Code.
(3) Any new offence that seeks to impose a fine or imprisonment must be introduced as an amendment to this Code.
4 - Conflict of Laws
(1) Where any other Act, regulation, directive, or rule conflicts with a provision of this Code, this Code shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency and the conflicting act will be updated to reflect the content of this act.
5 - Sentencing
(1) Where an offence in this Code provides for a list or range of penalties, including fines, imprisonment, or other sanctions, it shall be within the discretion of the judicial officer to impose any part or the whole of the prescribed penalty, subject to the limits set out in this Code.
(2) In exercising discretion, the judicial officer shall consider:
(a) the nature and seriousness of the offence;
(b) the intent and conduct of the offender;
(c) any aggravating or mitigating circumstances;
(d) the offender's criminal history or lack thereof;
(e) the protection of the community and the deterrence of future offences.
(3) A judicial officer may impose a lesser sentence than the maximum provided for the offence, or a combination of penalties, unless:
(a) the law specifically requires the imposition of a mandatory minimum penalty; or
(b) the offence expressly prohibits alternatives to the maximum sentence.
(4) Nothing in this section limits the authority of the courts to impose additional lawful remedies such as restitution, damages, or community service where such powers are established under this Code or another Act.
(5) Where a penalty under this Code includes Removal from office, the convicting court shall refer the removal component to the Supreme Court, which retains original jurisdiction over removal from public office under § 20(1)(a) of the Constitution, and which shall give effect to the referral unless doing so would be manifestly unjust.
6 - Legal Principles
(1) Criminal Jurisdiction
(a) The standard of proof for criminal cases is defined in the Judicial Standards Act.
(b) The Court shall have jurisdiction over all indictable offences.
(c) If an individual is found to be not guilty of a crime after punishment has been imposed, they shall be compensated $50 per minute spent in jail for offences found unproven, alongside a reimbursement of any fine paid for unproven offences.
(2) Criminal Offence Classification
(a) All criminal offences must carry the classification of either: Indictable or Summary.
(b) Punishments for a Summary Criminal Offence can be carried out by the relevant Government Department without a trial, subject to Criminal Jurisdiction rules.
(c) Judicial Officers may impose punishments for any Summary Offense committed during proceedings; when imposing such punishments, a Judicial Officer must offer their reasoning for issuing the punishment in an order or verdict. Such punishment may not be upheld on appeal except for reasons listed in such order or verdict.
(d) Punishments for an Indictable Criminal Offence must be proven in a trial.
(e) If a criminal offence fails to be specified as an Indictable or Summary Offense, then it shall not be added to the code.
(3) Ex Post Facto
(a) General Rule. No person shall be charged with, convicted of, or punished for conduct that did not constitute an offence under the law in force at the time the conduct occurred.
(b) No Retroactive Increase in Penalty. No person shall be subject to a penalty greater than the penalty prescribed for that offence by the law in force at the time the conduct occurred.
(c) Benefit of the Lesser Penalty. Where the penalty prescribed for an offence is reduced between the time the conduct occurred and the time of sentencing, the offender shall receive the benefit of the lesser penalty.
(d) Pending Proceedings. Any legislation passed after a lawsuit has been filed shall not be considered in that lawsuit, nor in any appeal of that lawsuit, nor in any case arising from the acceptance of such an appeal.
(e) Congressional Override. Congress may override this subsection through a bill, however such a bill will require a supermajority in both chambers.
(f) Continuity of Core Offences. Notwithstanding clause (a), conduct which occurred during any period in which no criminal code was in force may be prosecuted under this Code where that conduct would have constituted Murder, Treason, Abuse of Power, Fraud, or Embezzlement under the criminal code in force immediately before that period.
(i) Rationale. The offences listed in this clause are wrong in themselves and are universally understood to be wrong irrespective of their codification. No person may reasonably claim to have believed such conduct to be lawful merely because the Code had been repealed. This clause exists to ensure that the repeal of the criminal code does not operate as an amnesty for the gravest conduct, and it is to be construed narrowly and strictly against the State.
(ii) Penalty Cap. The penalty imposed shall not exceed the lesser of the penalty prescribed by the former code and the penalty prescribed by this Code.
(iii) Limitation Period. Prosecution must be commenced within the Statute of Limitations, calculated from the date of the conduct, and the period during which no criminal code was in force shall not extend, toll, or suspend that limitation period.
(iv) Closed List. This clause extends to no offence other than Murder, Treason, Abuse of Power, Fraud, and Embezzlement. It shall not be extended by analogy, by implication, or by the operation of any other provision of this Code, and it does not apply to any inchoate or derivative offence, including Accomplice to a Crime, Accessory to a Crime, or Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, save where the principal offence is one listed in this clause.
(v) Burden and Standard. The State bears the burden of proving both the conduct and its correspondence to an offence listed in this clause, to the standard of proof applicable to criminal matters under the Judicial Standards Act.
(vi) Defences Preserved. All defences, exclusions, and legal principles available under this Code, including Self Defence and Castle Law, apply to a prosecution under this clause as they would to any other prosecution.
(vii) No Precedent for Expansion. Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorising the retrospective creation, revival, or expansion of any other offence, whether by Congress, the Executive, or the Courts.
(4) Expungement
(a) Expungement is defined as the process in which a good behavior citizen may request to have a criminal record removed.
(b) Any citizen may file for their criminal records to be removed via expungement, provided it has been at least 2 months since they have been charged with a crime.
(c) Any citizen who qualifies may bring their request to the courts, following such process:
(i) The citizen will file an Expungement Request to the Federal Court, to be presided over by a Judge or Justice.
(ii) The Attorney General, or State's legal equivalency, will then be called to answer as to whether they meet the criteria or not.
(iii) The Judicial Officer will then determine a verdict on such a request with the State's consent.
(d) If the respective Judge or Justice agrees with the request of the citizen, and has the consent of the State, they may order the Department of Homeland Security to delete such criminal record(s).
(5) Commutation
(a) If a criminal who has been jailed has not served their entire prison sentence within seven days, they will be freed from jail to accommodate other criminals and fined based upon the time that they have remaining in minutes, multiplied by ten.
(6) Summary Offense Expiration
(a) The Department of Homeland Security may remove wanted points for players that have not been resolved within 4 months from the date of the initial issuing of the wanted point.
(i) This provision does not apply to any crimes classified as 'indictable'.
(b) Players shall be fined for any outstanding fines the cleared wanted point carries.
(c) Players shall be fined an additional $20 per minute of jail time that would have been imposed under the associated offenses for each cleared wanted point.
(d) Players retain the right to appeal their summary offense convictions in court even if they are fined under this Act. If a player's summary offense conviction is overturned, and said player was fined under this Act, then the Department of Homeland Security shall refund their fine in full.
(7) Statute of Limitations
(a) Except for claims arising from High Crimes, all legal action must be commenced within four months of the date of the alleged offense OR within 2-months of becoming aware of the offence, if outside the Statute of Limitations 4-month timeframe.
(b) High Crimes excepted from the time constraints of the Statute of Limitations include:

7 - Criminal Law Definitions

(2) Summary Offence means an offence that may be dealt with by immediate penalty, without the need for formal trial. This can be contested before a judicial officer after issue.
(3) Indictable Offence means an offence that must be prosecuted through formal legal proceedings, where the accused is entitled to a fair trial and the opportunity to contest the charges before a judicial officer, and are prosecuted by the Department of Justice.
(4) Criminal Law pertains to offences committed against the peace, order, or security of the state, wherein the state undertakes the prosecution of individuals or entities. Sanctions under criminal law may include fines, imprisonment, community service, or other punitive measures as prescribed by law.
(5) Removal from office means that the person is removed from any public office they hold, and is ineligible to assume any public office for the period specified in the penalty.
