HIGH COURT OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC

DETERMINATION OF JUSTICIABILITY

Whereas Invictean has appealed the ban imposed on them by Farengeto on 07 December 2017 through the following request:

I'm appealing my ban, since my ban was unjust, my defense is that I wasn't trolling but simply speaking my mind, it was to my knowledge that this region had freedom of speech at least somewhat, I wasn't intending to break the law.

Whereas this Court is empowered by Article III, Section 6 of the Charter to review the legality of actions by other government institutions and overturn those actions found in contravention of the freedoms guaranteed by the Charter.

It is resolved with respect to this Review Request as follows:

It is deemed justiciable.
It shall be assigned the case number HCRR1701 and be referred to in full as Review of the Ban on Invictean.
The Court requests that the Local Council and Security Councillor Farengeto provide testimony to account for their actions on 07 December 2017, no later than 10 December 2017.
The Court reserves the right to consult with, and request private testimonies from, other government institutions and individuals, for the purposes of research and clarification of context.
The Court will consider this review request as a legal question for the purposes of the Charter and the Court Procedures Act, and retains the sole right to issue an opinion on the same.

It is so ordered.
