Information
I respectfully submit this request for judicial interpretation concerning:

Part 4, Section 2, Subsection 1.4 of the Prosecution Act 2026.

Specifically, clarification is sought as to whether the Attorney General or Solicitor General possesses the authority to decline Court of Appeals (CoA) cases at Stage 2, while such matters remain under consideration by the Department of Justice. This request is made to ensure consistent procedural application and legal certainty in the handling of appellate matters.
Evidence
Restricted Evidence: Evidence has been submitted for this case but has not been released publicly. Only authorised personnel can view it.

Mr Attorney General,

On behalf of the Supreme Court, we apologise for the delay, but you'll be pleased to know we have reached a conclusive decision on this interpretation request, which is as follows:

"On consideration of the law as written, as well as consideration of the intent of the legislative branch in the creation and passing of this act, the Supreme Court has decided that, under Part 4, Section 2 (1) (4) of the Prosecution Act 2026, the Department of Justice does have the power to decline Court of Appeals Cases in Stage 2 ("Under Consideration by the Dept. of Justice").

Our reasoning for this decision is with relation to the relevant clause, the wording of the legislation states that the Department of Justice may reject a case where the "plaintiff or appellant" has failed to respond within 5 days, therefore we have concluded that the legislative branch intended for court of appeals cases to be included within this definition"
