Legal Question: Failure to press criminal charges re; SPA
#1

Your honour,

Three weeks ago (on 12/5/17) the Security Powers Act (SPA) was amended, now including a clause nine reading "(9) If the basis of a security threat declaration amounts or equates to criminal accusation, the Council on Regional Security (CRS) must immediately press criminal charges. The security threat declaration will be rescinded should these charges not result in conviction."

The CRS investigation, report and subsequent ruling issued on 19/4/17 clearly and unambiguous amounts or equates to criminal accusations, including but not limited to accusations of Treason and Espionage, criminal acts regulated by the criminal code. This cannot be contested by any reasonable individual.

Your honour, three weeks far exceeds any reasonable definition of "immediately" in relation to pressing criminal charges, and as such the CRS report and all subsequent rulings and penalties are clearly unconstitutional. As such the Court has a legal duty to declare thus CRS report and all subsequent rulings and penalties void.

As such, petitioner asks;

"Where the CRS, in accordance with the SPA, declines or otherwise fails to press charges when the basis of a security threat declaration amounts or equates to criminal accusation, is this security threat designation illegal and thus void?"

Petitioner asks for swift and summary judgement on this matter, as this is not a question of legal interpretation but of the Court confirming that the CRS has failed to act in the legally required manner.
