Injunction Response
Your Honor, I reiterate my previously voiced concerns. Assuming the power to pause elections as a District Court Judge, with no basis in statutory law or in the Constitution, is a significant expansion of power for the judicial branch, especially given this is a District Court case.
Additionally, the Plaintiff ignores the wording of 5th Fundamental Protection. "The right to vote and participate in elections as specified by law." The right to vote, and to participate in elections, is governed by the law. With the passage of the Electoral Reform Amendment, which grants the authority to manage Voter Registration to the government, this clearly gives the Azalea Isles Government the power to regulate voter registration through law.
This suit was brought after voting for the election opened, and Your Honor must also consider harm issued to the rest of the Azalea Isles. Even with 24 hour response times (which are not guaranteed due to real-world circumstances), there will be opening statements, likely witnesses, closing statements, and certainly motions in between. It is extremely likely that this case could go on for another week, perhaps two, and while that would be fast by legal standards, it unjustly harms the rest of the Azalea Isles who fairly voted during the election, and the candidates, who will now have their time in office diminished every day the court case goes on.
With the concern of the precedent this could set; the fact that the claim of a violation of the Plaintiff's rights is questionable at best due to the clear wording of the Constitution; and the fact that this is a by-election for one seat; we ask that the injunction be reversed, so that the election results may be finalized while the case moves forward. This will also provide the proper time for thorough, clear legal arguments to be made in advance of the next parliamentary election, rather than attempting to rush a case over one seat (11% of Parliament).
Default Judgement Response
The Defendant has responded to this case, and is waiting to file the formal answer to the complaint until all necessary motions and discussions, including what has been initiated by the Plaintiff, are resolved, as precedent allows, most recently evidenced by Vontobel v Ministry of Urban Development, tried in the Supreme Court.
