Lawsuit: In Session JuliaMC_ v. Town of Aventura [2026] FCR 35

[Julia_]

Case Filing

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION


Julia Tempest (JuliaMC_)
Plaintiff

v.

The Town of Aventura
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:

The Constitution of Aventura states that the Standing Orders of Aventura have the force of law. The Constitution of Aventura states that a supermajority is required for the passage of constitutional amendment. Speaker Musrodent refused to follow this and set an illegal precedent redefining the constitutional requirement of a constitutional amendment.

I. PARTIES
1. JuliaMC_ (Plaintiff)
2. Town of Aventura (Defendant)
3. Budgiebud (Mayor of Aventura; Witness)
4. Musrodent (Speaker of the Council; Witness)

II. FACTS
1. On or around May 1 on 7:12 PM, Defendant submitted the Recalls Act.
2. The Recalls Act was a constitutional amendment.
3. Yesterday, on or around the 2nd of May, 5:54 PM, Speaker Musrodent put the Recalls Act for a vote.
4. Defendant voted in favour of the Recalls Act. (P-001)
5. Musrodent voted against the Recalls Act. (P-001)
6. Drkmode voted in favour of the Recalls Act. (P-002)
7. The Standing Order of the Town of Aventura, which have the force of law within the jurisdiction of the Town of Aventura as stated in Article II, Section II, state that upon meeting the required quorum and majority (in this case a supermajority), a bill would automatically pass.
8. The Recalls Act met the required quorum and supermajority, as pointed out by Defendant. (P-003)
9. Speaker Musrodent refused this interpretation and refused to declare the passage of the Recalls Act.
10. rotcepsnI and Budgiebud later issued votes against the Recalls Act. (P-004)
11. As the Recalls Act had legally passed under the Standing Orders, these votes are null and void.
12. Later on, Speaker Musrodent backed down on his original claim and instead stated that the bill had not met the required majority and proceeded to state a claim in contradiction with the Constitution. (P-003)

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
1. STANDING ORDERS AND CONSTITUTION ARE CLEAR IN REGARDS TO THE PASSAGE OF A BILL
The Standing Orders of Aventura state:
"(d) After 24 hours, or if the required majority and quorum have been reached:
(i) If passed, the Bill shall be presented to the Mayor for Assent or Veto. If assented to, it shall be moved to the Acts of Council forum and tagged “Act of Council”.

The Constitution of Aventura states that a constitutional amendment only requires a supermajority vote within the Council of Aventura. Further, the Constitution of Aventura defines quorum as "50% of the statutory number of seats within the Council."

As shown in P-001 and P-002, three (3) votes were cast. Two (2) in favour and one (1) against. The Council of Aventura currently has five (5) statutory seats. 50% of five (5) is 2.5, rounded up to three.

Further, the Constitution of Aventura defines a supermajority as "two-thirds supermajority of votes cast." As stated earlier, three (3) votes were cast. Two-thirds of three (3) is two (2). And as two (2) votes were cast in favour, the constitutional amendment met the required supermajority.

Speaker Musrodent stated:
"It is the ruling of the presiding officer that, given there are 5 statutory seats on the Council of Aventura, the required majority is an absolute majority of 3 out of 5. At no point did the 2-1 result in favour constitute a passing majority, as a simple numerical lead does not satisfy this threshold." (P-003)

As clearly stated earlier, the required majority in accordance with the Constitution is a supermajority rather than an absolute majority. Further, the Constitution is clear that a 2/3rds supermajority constitutes the amount of votes cast rather than the amount of statutory seats.

Therefore, the constitutional amendment passed when Drkmode formally voted in favour.

2. STANDING ORDERS HAVE THE FORCE OF LAW
Article II, Section II of the Constitution of Aventura states:
"[...] (1) The Council shall have the powers to: [...] Create and pass Standing Orders that shall have the force of law to govern themselves through internal rules and procedures." [Emphasis Mine]

As the Standing Orders of Aventura have the force of law, the Speaker is obligated to follow them.

3. VOTES AFTER PASSAGE WERE INVALID
Following the required passage under the Standing Orders of Aventura, Budgiebud and rotcepsnI both submitted votes against the Recalls Act. As the bill automatically passed upon meeting the required quorum and majority in accordance with the Standing Orders, the voting period was concluded by operation of law. Any votes cast following the passage have no legal effect and are null and void.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Plaintiff seeks the following from Defendant:
1. A writ of mandamus commanding Speaker Musrodent to comply with the Constitution and the Standing Orders and to declare the Recalls Act as passed.

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.

Court Order

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE - LAWFUL AUTHORITY TO REPRESENT

The Court understands that the Aventura Office of Legal Affairs is responsible for the "Legal Defence of the Town of Aventura" (Av. Const., Section IV(3)), but is concerned that the Town Constitution on that page may not have been updated to reflect prior amendments not at issue in this case. Upon reviewing Acts of Council, the Court read the Counsel of Aventura Act, which appears to amend Article I, Section V of the Constitution of Aventura to allow the Mayor to appoint a "Counsel of Aventura" to "represent[] the Town of Aventura in legal matters" (Counsel of Aventura Act, Section 3(2)). That insertion does not appear to have been removed by subsequent Acts of Counsel, but the Constitution of Aventura does not appear to have been updated.

The Court, for the purpose of ensuring that the record is adequately developed and consistent with Regulation of the Federal Court 10 et seq., orders the Town of Aventura to provide a response as to the following question:

1. In the view of the Town, to what extent are the constitutional amendments from the Counsel of Aventura Act actually part of the Constitution of the Town of Aventura?
2. Did the Mayor appoint Anthony_Org as Counsel of Aventura prior to Anthony_Org's presence in this Court thread?

Answers to this Order to Show Cause are due in 48 hours, on pain of contempt.

Hon. Judge Multiman155
