RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Belschaft - 10-20-2017

Your honour,

Defence requests leave to present an extraordinary motion for a declaration of mistrial.


RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Kris Kringle - 10-20-2017

What motive does the Defence have to request such leave?



RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Belschaft - 10-21-2017

Your honour,

The Court Procedures Act (CPA) requires that multiple High Court Justice's handle matters of criminal complaint and trial; repeated use of plural terminology such as "The High Court Justices will collectively determine" make this clear and unambiguous. As such Defence believes that a declaration of mistrial must be made.

Defence has no objection to such declaration including a statement that no jeopardy is attached.


RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Kris Kringle - 12-09-2017

In view of the ruling in Anachronism in the Court Procedures Act [HCLQ1712] and the subsequent denial of an appeal, the Prosecution will now have one full week to present its full case, including any relevant evidence and witnesses.



RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Roavin - 12-14-2017

Your honor,

I wish to request for an extension to Monday, December 18th.

(busy at work and am likely to be at work on Saturday, so this would allow me to find some time on Sunday to finish up what I've written - note that I'm posting this at 3am and I just came home from work not too long ago Tounge )


RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Kris Kringle - 12-16-2017

In view of the reasons provided, the Court will grant the requested extension.



RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Kris Kringle - 12-18-2017

It shall be reflected on the record that the Prosecution failed to present its main argument within the allotted time. The Defence will have one full week to present its argument.



RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Belschaft - 12-19-2017

Your honour, with the prosecution having presented no case the defense requests immediate dismissal with prejudice.


RE: [TRIAL] Roavin v. Cormac - Kris Kringle - 12-20-2017

Given the advanced state of this case and considering the fact that the Prosecution has presented evidence and witness testimony, the Court has opted to continue with this proceeding, the request by the Defence notwithstanding.
