If it may please the Court, I would like to request clarification of whether breaking an oath constitute grounds for dismissal.

I note the text of an oath required to be taken by all government officials, elected and confirmed:

Oath
 
From this time forward, I INSERT-NATION, voluntarily without mental reservation or purpose of evasion, pledge my loyalty to Lazarus and her people, whose democratic beliefs I share, whose rights and liberties I respect, and whose laws I will uphold and obey.

If an official clearly demonstrates disloyalty to Lazarus and/or breaks a law, are these grounds for dismissal?

Could you be more specific with what you mean by disloyalty? That could be a detrimentally broad term.

Apologies, I forgot I enquired about this...

You're right, I suppose it is a rather broad term. A situation I can think of now is where Lazarus is in a state of war with another region and a nation is both a government official in Lazarus as well as in the region we are at war with.

It's quite alright. A ruling was posted some months ago and appealed afterwards. My apologies for not making that clear here in this thread when I should have.

I thank the court for their judgements and I appreciate the clarification it provides.
