Amoara v. Basileus

Amoara v. Basileus was a 1914 Amurrhinian Supreme People's Court case that decided the fate of who would be the monarch in the People's Republic of the Amurrhine (PRA). The case came up when Chaila Amoara, the mother of Frui Amoara and widow of former Amurrhinian king Alitanop Kiraqal (Areik Amoara), filled a lawsuit against the recently ascended Amurrhinian monarch, Nicholas Basileus.

Amoara's Claim
The claim of Amoara was that Frui was the legitimate descendent of the late Alitanop (Areik) and that, therefore, Frui Amoara should take the throne as Frui Kiraqal I and the reign of Nicholas Basileus is illegitimate.

Basileus' Claim
The claim of Basileus was that Frui Amoara, being the age of 4 at the time, was therefore not eligible for the position of monarch. They also argued that the law establishing the monarchy in the PRA had no laws of succession, and that therefore Amoara had no legitimate claim under Amurrhinian law to the monarchy.

Outcome
The court ruled in an 9-0 decision in favor of Amoara. This established Frui Amoara as queen of the Amurrhine under the name Frui Kiraqal I, it established the House of Amoara-Kiraqal as a legal entity in Amurrhinian law, and it nullified the position of Nicholas Basileus as Amurrhinian monarch as well as establishing his position as temporary regent.
