RE: Interpretation Request

Honourable Justices of the Court,

I respectfully request an interpretation of the Prosecution Act 2025, Part I, Section 2, Subsection 2.

The subsection states:

"A member of the Department of Justice shall represent the following people, unless their representation is refused;"

• Any member of the Executive Office of the President;
• Any Branch Leader or Deputy Branch Leader;
• Any Cabinet Department Leader, as defined by the President, Vice President, or Chief of Staff.

My query relates specifically to the phrase "unless their representation is refused."

It is my current reading that this clause applies to the individuals expressly listed within the subsection, granting them the ability to refuse representation provided by the Department of Justice.

However, I seek clarification as to whether this right extends beyond those listed categories. The Act does not appear to explicitly state whether other individuals may refuse Department of Justice representation and elect to represent themselves before the Court.

As such, I respectfully request the Court's interpretation on whether:

The ability to refuse representation is limited to the individuals listed in Part I, Section 2, Subsection 2; or

Any individual may refuse Department of Justice representation and proceed on a self-represented basis where representation would otherwise be available.

Clarification on this matter would assist the Department of Justice in ensuring the consistent application of the Prosecution Act moving forward.

Signed,

notsyam
Solicitor General

The Department of Justice is required to assign a Certified Attorney to both the Plaintiff and Defendant unless said party refuses.
