Case Filing
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION
ToadKing
Plaintiff
v.
The Commonwealth of Redmont
Defendant
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:
WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PLAINTIFF
I. PARTIESI submitted a Freedom of Information request to the Department of Justice on 1st August, 2025, requesting access to "any and all unclassified government work inside this group chat" relating to communications between members of the Executive. After receiving no response within the required seven-day period, I sent reminders on 7th August and 13th August , 2025. The Acting Attorney General finally responded on 13th August, stating "there are no instances of government work on that group chat except the instance you mentioned." I believe this response to be false and inadequate. Under Section 8(7)(a) of the Classified Materials Act, I have the right to appeal this improper denial to the Federal Court. The requested materials are of legitimate public interest and the denial was unreasonable under the standards set forth in the Act.
