Respondent's Filing Instructions
You have been named in a formal affidavit. Here is your path to defense.
Your Defense Strategy
Review Facts
Read the Petitioner's "Statement of Fact" carefully. Note any inaccuracies or missing context.
Draft Rebuttal
Most stories are half-truths. Use your response to provide the direct context of your actions.
Corroborate
Witnesses cannot be called. Prepare screenshots, emails, or recordings to prove your version of events.
Live Rebuttal
Prepare to answer the Panel's questions. A 51% majority determines the final Verdict.
1. The Right to Rebuttal
The Grand Panel relies on direct testimony. You have the exclusive right to challenge the Petitioner's narrative. However, deceptive testimony discovered by The Bench will result in an immediate Judgment for the Plaintiff.
2. Broadcast Standards
This hearing is public record. All defenses must remain within the community standards of our broadcast partners:
Strict: Do not share private phone numbers or home addresses. Violations result in a Mistrial and a platform ban.
3. Objections & Decorum
During the hearing, you have the right to object to Argumentative or Speculative questioning. The Bench (Terrance Ward) will Sustain or Overrule your motion. Respect the gavel at all times.
4. Finality of Outcome
Cases end in a Judgment for Respondent (Cleared), Judgment for Plaintiff (At Fault), or a Mistrial (No Consensus). Once the Clerk records the verdict, the case is closed with no appeal.
