Critics of Carlos Tevez claim cases guilty of misunderstanding legal process
Such oracles misunderstood the legal process first time round and will probably do so again. [LNB]All legal tribunals have to decide matters on the balance of probabilities; they are not required to and could never achieve certainty. Furthermore, whatever claims arise from their decisions are not within their control and should not be a factor in judging the instant case.

Not every consequence of a breach of contract, trust or duty gives a right to damages. In this way the relatives of Hillsborough victims were deemed insufficiently proximate to recover damages for distress, whereas the police officers at the scene were so deemed. [LNB]You may not agree with the decisions made by a judicial body, but it is misguided to condemn its function as a result; more so if condemnation comes from ignorance of the principles by which all such bodies operate.
