Kingdom of Spain v. Kingdom of Reitzmag
-
Your honor,
In my conclusion, I see that the DEFENDANT, HM The King George I and the Government of the Kingdom of Reitzmag, is not guilty. It is very clear that the voting period for Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen Act has not yet elapsed while the Nyetthem Accords were signed, hence, the contents of the Nyetthem Accords with regards to military deals with the UNSR is hereby automatically void. That being said, the travel of Mr. Bernie Sanders to the Kingdom of Reitzmag should have nothing to do with the Nyetthem Accords. The issue with the incident of the kidnapping did not involve the government, hence no agreement was made between the two parties. Mr. Sanders has clearly narrated to this court that there was no agreement reached, none of the alleged demands from Mr. Johnson or Mr. Coventry were accepted. There is no document that says that Mr. Sanders voluntarily gave the money, hence, the incident may be considered as robbery and kidnap for ransom. The document of the Nyetthem Accords shows that the demands made by the Reitzmic party was to replace the vessel and not to pay for the vessel, thus the money has no connection with the accords.
There isn't any document or official statement released by the Government of the Kingdom of Reitzmag that recognizes the illegitimate government in Icholasen. Hence, the alleged message made by HM George I is mainly based on personal opinion. Therefore, a guilty verdict would mean that this court is depriving HM George I of the freedom of expression which is thus against the Constitution of the European Union.
I wish this court to consider that I and my client is telling the truth and only the truth. And that I hope that I have proven the reality that the DEFENDANT is not guilty of this case.

On the Case of Original Jurisdiction filed by the CLAIMANT, the Kingdom of Spain.

Chief Justice Ekka delivering the opinion of the court.
The Kingdom of Reitzmag, represented by the individual George Montreal, entered an agreement with the UNSR for recognition of said government in exchange for provisions to replace a naval asset lost in conflict pursuant to the Nyetthem Accords, an international treaty. The CLAIMANT presented that the actions of the individual George Montreal taken on behalf of the Kingdom of Reitzmag
The Court has concluded that, though the signing of the Nyetthem Accords preceded the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen Act, the Reitzmic Government and its associated entities knowingly and willingly disobeyed European Law for political, economic, and personal gain.
The Court draws attention to Section 2, Paragraph 1 of the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen act, stating,
“Effectively immediately, any and all military trade agreements between EU member states and Icholasen are hereby suspended and banned until such time as the legitimate government as Icholasen is restored.”
This act SUSPENDS and BANS any and all military trade agreements with the UNSR, and thus the bilateral military trade agreement between the Kingdom of Reitzmag and the UNSR as provisioned in the Nyetthem Accords was thus suspended. Therefore, any effort to fulfill the named provisions taken by the Kingdom of Reitzmag or individuals acting on behalf of entities named would be in violation of European Law.
Thus, the actions taken by the Reitzmic government in accepting funds for the loss of naval hardware in lieu of replacements for said hardware pursuant to the Nyetthem Accords following the passage of the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen Act were in direct violation of European Law.
However, this court will not rule that the actions taken by the Reitzmic government in returning said funds were in violation of European Law. The return of funds was demanded by the UNSR after the Reitzmic government failed to uphold provisions in the treaty requiring them to recognise the UNSR. Thus, the return of funds was an action taken as restitution for the violation of a bilateral diplomatic agreement with a sufficient degree of separation from the initial agreement and thus not effecting or operating in lieu of the exchange of military hardware.
Regarding the kidnapping of Mr Bernie Sanders, the Reitzmic Prime Minister and Reitzmic Foreign Minister at the time were both operating in their positions within the Reitzmic government and were thus representing and acting on behalf of the entity the government of the Kingdom of Reitzmag. Both parties share liability in their actions. The open negotiations for military hardware from the UNSR, while not a violation of the law, establishes a pattern of behaviour in the Kingdom of Reitzmag that ignores the spirit of European Legislation in favour of opportunistic exchanges.
AS SUCH, this court rules in favour of the CLAIMANT. The actions taken by the Reitzmic government following the passage of the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen act ignoring the suspension of military trade agreements was a violation of European Law. This Court recognises that the Reitzmic Government was required to return the monies transferred that that the members of government have since been removed.
This Court thus ORDERS that the Kingdom of Reitzmag pay a fine of 500 000 000 € to the European Union and an additional 150 000 000 € to the Global Alliance Against Human Trafficking. This court also ORDERS that any remaining ‘suspended’ military or trade agreements, as defined in the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen Act, between the UNSR and Reitzmag be cancelled.
IN ADDITION, this court finds that the individual GEORGE MONTREAL was an accomplice in his actions taken pursuant to the Reitzmic provisions in the Nyetthem Accords to facilitate the exchange of military assets or a large sum in lieu thereof. As such, GEORGE MONTREAL is thus fined 5 000 000 € for contempt of European Law pursuant to the facilitation of violation of European Law by an entity directly devolved and named above.
