Your Honor,
The verdict in CV14 fails to take into consideration many of the different arguments brought before it, and additionally we believe that it is based on a flawed interpretation of unreasonable search and seizure.

Firstly, the verdict in our opinion fails to take into account the legislative intent behind the existence of 2 warrant classes. It is our belief that the wording of the legislation quite clearly supports our interpretation of the difference between a search warrant and an arrest warrant. Searching a property for an individual is considered to be a "search", the distinction created by Honourable Fauz is one not based in our constitution or the intent of its writters.

The verdict by Honourable Fauz allows police officers in the Azalea aisles to circumvent the constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure. Mr Bezzer's property was searched without a search warrant in an attempt to arrest me, thus constituting an unreasonable search and seizure. Furthermore Honourable Fauz sets a dangerous precedent were for unreasonable search and seizure to apply, one must have their objects searched throught.

We really stress that this verdict must be overturned atleast in part to avoid this becoming case precedent thus having the potential to affect countless more individuals.

Thank you for your remarks to the Court.

I have just consulted with my colleague, Hon. Justice Milk Crack, regarding this appeal. Before the Court can determine whether we wish to hear this appeal, we have a few clarifying questions:

1. Under the Court Reformation Act, as amended by the Judicial Peace Act last March, it is stated in §4(g) that "Any non-interlocutory appeals must be made no later than one week after the end of the trial, in order to be considered." The present appeal appears to have been filed well outside that period. Please identify the statutory or other legal basis upon which you contend that this appeal may nevertheless be considered by the Supreme Court.
2. The original case, Robi Hawes v. Ministry of Justice (2025) CV 14, was filed on November 13, 2025 with a decision delivered by Hon. Judge Fauz Wolfe on December 22, 2025. The present appeal was not initiated until more than 7 months after that judgment. Please explain why you did not file this appeal sooner. Please also identify any circumstances or legal authority that you contend justify the delay.
3. Since the original judgment was issued, the legal environment of Azalea Isles has undergone a number of changes, including the passage of the New Criminal Code Act (February 20, 2026) alongside various legislative additions and developments in case law. Given these subsequent changes, please identify whether it may impact the our ability to fairly review the judgement from December 22, 2025. If it does impact the Court's ability, please describe how.

Please provide a response within 48 hours. Understanding that it may take the appellant some additional time to gather materials for these clarifying questions, the Court will entertain requests for extensions as needed.

Your Honor,

1. While it is true that under the Court Reformation Act an appeal must be filed within a week of verdict and thus, under normal circumstances, such an appeal as the one filed by the Appellant is invalid, there is one factor that should justify this deadline not being met, that being that the verdict of Robi Hawes v. Ministry of Justice (2025) CV 14 was delivered on the 8th of January, a date far before the amendment in question was ever passed by Parliament. It is the Appellant's opinion that, in a situation where a deadline is set that is impossible to meet, it is in the Court's interest to preserve the right of appeal and allow the Appellant's appeal to proceed, as the Appellant could not reasonably have been expected to comply with a requirement that did not exist at the time the verdict was delivered.

2. An appeal was not filed sooner due to an extended break, I heeded the advice of the court in my previous appeal and have now refiled as I have time to meet the deadlines set by the court.

3. I believe there shouldn't be anything impacting the courts ability to issue a fair ruling.

​

After reviewing the Appellant's submitted justification, the Supreme Court of Azalea Isles finds that there is insufficient procedural grounds to merit further review. Therefore, the Supreme Court is deciding to respectfully decline to hear this appeal. While the Appellant's initial appeal in January 2026 was dismissed without prejudice, this does not grant an indefinite right to refile any time leisure. For the preservation of evidence and the finality of court judgements, an appeal must still be pursued within a reasonable timeframe.

A delay of over seven months between judgment and this refiled appeal is procedurally unreasonable. According to §4(g) of the Court Reformation Act, statutory law enforces strict time limits on filing an appeal. Even if the Court accepts the Appellant's argument that the Appellant could not have reasonably been expected to comply with the requirements of the updated statutory law, there are two points we've considered:

1. The Judicial Peace Act amendment that imposed a 1-week deadline to appeal to the Court Reformation Act came into force on March 29, 2026. When considering the time since this second appeal was filed and the passage of that amendment, it has been nearly 4 months. One could reasonably expect an appealing party to monitor shifts in the legislative framework and act with appropriate speed.
2. Evaluating this filing under pre-amendment common law, a 7-month delay from the original court decision fails to meet basic standards of timeliness and threatens the finality of court judgments. To consider cases this long ago would enable endless litigation on ancient cases.

Furthermore, since the original judgment was issued in December 2025, the statutory framework of Azalea Isles has undergone significant updates, including the passage of the New Criminal Code Act. This means that the Court no longer finds the argument that this appeal is justified to "avoid this becoming case precedent" as particularly persuasive since such District Court decision only exists under outdated legal circumstances. Should the Appellant or other citizens wish to challenge law enforcement warrant execution practices under the current legal framework, the proper vehicle to do so is a fresh lawsuit alleging specific harms.

Raymond West, Chief Justice & Milk Crack, Justice
