Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
DocTheory (Represented by Dragon Law)
Plaintiff
v.
Commonwealth of Redmont
Defendant
COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complaints against the Defendant as follows:
A severe and grave miscarriage of justice has occurred, and it must be set right. In no humane society would a person be sentenced and forced to serve a prison sentence requiring over two real-life months of consistent working off for a crime that, by law, warrants no jail time whatsoever. There was no trial, no due process, just a unilateral declaration. Resisting arrest is the only crime that the Plaintiff has been charged with. This crime is a summary offence with a fine of $100 – perhaps the most inconsequential ‘slap on the wrist’ that can possibly be given as punishment to a citizen. Instead of being handed this minute fine and being allowed to go on with the rest of his life, DocTheory was forced to serve over 140 hours of jail time, down from his original sentence of over 166 hours. One hundred and forty hours in Revcatraz, with nothing to do but hard labour in the mines and solemn contemplation in a cell. There is no excuse nor explanation that could even come close to justifying this ridiculous sentencing. Not only this, but the Commonwealth was duly notified through official channels, and public statements were made about this miscarriage of justice. What did the government do to correct its atrocious mistakes? Absolutely nothing. This behaviour, which so carelessly disregards the fundamental principles that our very civilisation is built upon, has left the Plaintiff with no other course of action. That is why today the Plaintiff comes to the Court, battered and broken, in search of redress.
I. PARTIES
- DocTheory (Plaintiff)
- Commonwealth of Redmont (Defendant)
II. FACTS
- DocTheory was sentenced to jail for ‘Logging out while handcuffed’. This sentence dates back to the 22nd of December, 2024. (P-003)
- DocTheory was given a sentence of 6 days, 22 hours, and 50 minutes in jail. (P-001)
- DocTheory had no jail records prior to ‘Logging out while handcuffed’
- Following his sentencing, DocTheory left the server, and rejoined on the 23rd of February, 2025. (P-006)
- The Department of Homeland Security was contacted regarding DocTheory’s unjust imprisonment, and no action was taken to address the situation. (P-004)
- DocTheory was released from prison early, presumably by staff, with no explanation whatsoever on the 25th of March. (P-005)
- In total, DocTheory served 5 days, 18 minutes, and 24 seconds of in-game jail time, having skipped 1 day, 2 hours, 31 minutes, and 39 seconds from mining and the early release. (P-003)
III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
- According to § 4.(6) of the Miscellaneous Offenses Act, Resisting Arrest (‘Logging out while handcuffed’) is a summary offence with a fine of $100 per offence and no associated jail time.
- The Plaintiff had his 14th Constitutional Right violated, which reads ‘Every citizen has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice’. DocTheory was forced to serve over 120 hours of jail time for a crime that should not have landed him in jail in the first place. These actions by the Commonwealth completely and utterly violated DocTheory’s rights to life, liberty, and security, and any notion of fundamental justice was thoroughly discarded.
- In the case of GnomeWhisperer v. Commonwealth [2025] FCR 11, the plaintiff received a similar, though shorter, unjust sentence, and the court ruled in his favour in granting nearly all of the requested damages.
IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:
- $420,900 of compensation at a rate of $50 per minute for a total of 8,418 minutes, as outlined in the Standardized Criminal Code Act § 4.2.(c).
- $300,000 in punitive damages for the gross miscarriage of justice of sentencing a citizen to over 140 hours of jail time for a crime that only warrants a $100 fine, as well as failure to properly redress the issue when it was discovered. In [2025] FCR 11, the plaintiff was awarded $150,000 in punitive damages for an unjust sentence that was under half the time of DocTheory’s. It is evident that significantly more punitive action is necessary in order to prevent this outrageous and morally reprehensible behaviour from occurring again, and to properly penalise the Commonwealth for its repeated unconscionable actions in regards to the proper carrying out of justice that violated the Plaintiff’s fundamental constitutional rights.
- $300,000 for the immense loss of enjoyment in Redmont that comes from being unable to play the game outside of jail for over 5 days of in-game playtime, and over two months of real time. This absolutely egregious amount of time spent in jail stripped DocTheory of the ability to live a normal life in Redmont, participate in any and all events and elections, or otherwise engage with the in-game community in any meaningful way for two entire months – all over a crime that should have been punished with a measly $100 fine.
- $5,115 in compensatory damages for the opportunity cost incurred from the incorrect sentencing. DocTheory has attended to 29 patients during the period of time since his release on the 25th of March to the 11th of April (P-007). Each patient cured earns DocTheory $100. At a rate of 1.705 patients per day, and over the course of serving his sentence between the 23rd of February and his release (for a total of 30 days), DocTheory is likely to have made $5,115 from curing patients.
- $307,804 in legal fees, equal to 30% of the case value, as outlined in § 9 of the Legal Damages Act.
