Hamed et. al. vs. The Government of TropiCanada
As was mentioned in our first post on TropiCanada, a class action law suit was launched against the Government of TropiCanada, led by an impoverished citizen named Hamed. Here we see Judge Cory overseeing the random selection of jurors for the upcoming case.

The prosecution was led by Hamed (left) and his legal partner, Sukhi (right). They are representing themselves plus five other TropiCanadian citizens who are homeless in the year 2001, and are suing their government for having unconstitutional social programs (note: TropiCanada is using CM’s Canadian Module, so they sited three sections from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to support their case).

Below we see the defendants, the Prime Minister of TropiCanada and another MP. After hearing the prosecution’s opening, they chose to plead guilty to all charges, lessening the punishment by signifiying a willingness to cooperate with the courts.

Below we see Hamed presenting his case, explaining that The Government of TropiCanada has $23,000 in a $100,000 economy and they’re not using any of it to help the 7 families who are homeless and helpless. Hamed explains a list of homeless citizens to the judge and requests that the government give each family $2,000 to rectify their unconstitutional policies ($14,000 of the governments $23,000).

After deliberating in the hallway for some time, Judge Cory returned to the court room and explains his decision for The Government of TropiCanada to give each of the seven families $1,400 of financial assistance. He noted that the government’s cooperation in pleading guilty led to the lower amount. Below we see Hamed and Sukhi with the thumbs up.

In a second case, Suki and Tricia sue “Landlord Daniel” for illegally evicting them from his apartment. If Sukhi and Tricia win, they ensure their families stay alive. If they lose, one member of each of their families will likely die … unless something drastic happens.
