Law of Petition and Remedy

Section 1. Right of petition

A person with standing may petition the Crown or appropriate office concerning a decision, status, injury, appointment, record, estate, access, or remedy.

Section 2. Form

A petition should identify the petitioner, requested action, relevant facts, supporting record, urgency, privacy classification, and desired remedy.

Section 3. Notice

Before materially adverse action, the affected person should receive notice sufficient to understand the issue, authority, possible consequence, and method of answer.

Section 4. Opportunity to answer

A fair answer may include evidence, explanation, objection, correction, admission, request for time, request for recusal, or proposed remedy.

Section 5. Temporary action

Temporary protective action may occur before full notice when delay would materially threaten safety, evidence, access, security, or continuity. It shall be narrowly limited and reviewed promptly.

Section 6. Recusal

A decision-maker with a material conflict, personal stake, prior accusatory role, or demonstrated bias shall recuse when a fair alternate process is available.

Section 7. Findings

A final decision should identify jurisdiction, facts, evidence, disputed points, reasoning, ruling, remedy, effective date, and review path.

Section 8. Appeal

An appeal may challenge authority, fact, process, proportionality, interpretation, conflict, or remedy. Mere disagreement with the result is not enough without a stated ground.

Section 9. Remedy

Available remedies include correction, clarification, record amendment, apology, reinstatement, access change, reversal, stay, removal, restoration, compensation, or another proportionate action.

Section 10. No retaliation

A good-faith petition, objection, refusal, appeal, or report of wrongdoing shall not itself be treated as disloyalty.
