The elements of Logic, essential to the clear thinking, ordered argument and avoidance
of fallacies in preparing your case in Law.
"Hunt the proposition" for the inconsistencies and contradictions,

Your mendacious adversary will invariably commit them.
Retribution theory link here shortly Has the meaning of justice been forgotten? Are the law courts and organs of complaints so steeped in sets of rules as to prevent them from recognising & applying justice, or does this belie an agenda? Bureaucracy combines in large bodies, organisations, and institutions, found predominantly in democracies, (less in dictatorships, which should not attract negatively characterised associations to exclude paternal single rulers and monarchies) suffer from the consequence of agenda and template driven procedures. A distanced view of such methodologies reveals invidious practices that undermine democracy to the point of it’s being a worse system than centralised management in paternal single or small cerebral groupings.
The combined tendencies of a large employed workforce, being more disinterested than smaller groupings creates a dependency on sets of rule structured procedures, stipulating increasingly the maxim, don’t think, follow these rules. Complaint procedure rules, like those in court become a pre-determining template that functions like a die through which particulars are forced and extruded where truth, accurate correspondence with reality and other similar concepts suffer. Taking a topological view of the sociological landscape reveals groups of bodies where their well defined frames of reference work to the combining effect of mutual exclusion that gives rise to the general consequences that one body is not empowered to handle problems, and they get shunted around so the complainant gives up in frustration. If he does end up with the relevant institution, he then faces the same problem on a diminished scale, being his particulars are forced through the template to either qualify or not depending on the person controlling the dialogue. Every profound principle at the heart of a small example gets buried under the weight of the template, indifference and a commercial decision. Of course commercial decisions have invariably nothing to do with truth, honour, integrity or sprit of any law .

FLEXIBLE application of rules requires noblesse oblige, and unqualified compassion for understanding truth and usually a single cortex capable of balanced judgement devoid of particular vested interest.

Around 1994 How to deliver retributive justice in just ONE SHARP QUESTION.

Briefly, Winter was a lessee to some small basement rooms at Bedford Court Mansions London WC1. On a predetermined day, Monday the electricity was shutdown, for major repairs, to all tenants for a period of two hours, with the exception that Winter's rooms were re-connected, but the meter switch left deliberately OFF so he had no electric supply to his business. On his return investigating the problem, he was told by the LEB; the supplier with whom he had the contract for electricity, the switch to power up his supply was located in a box owned by the management company, so only they could allow the box to be opened, and of course they were busy playing a prank on Winter, to vex and inconvenience him, for some apparent misdemeanor that they alone believed he had committed.

Winter went straight to the court for an injunction to order the defendants, (5 Directors at BCM Ltd) to re-connect his lawful supply, he duly served this on the Chairman at his address, in the same building. Not being able to get the party to open his front door, he looked through the letter box, saw someone moving across the landing and decided to post it through the box.
Tuesday & Wednesday went by without any response, on Thursday Winter returned to the court and asked for some more powers.

The Judge gave him another injunction ordering the defendant's “DO, within 30 minutes of service, all that was required to re-connect Winter's electricity supply, otherwise face committal proceedings forthwith”.
Armed with this Winter confidently approached one director on the street, served him, another on his landing area, a chap called Ganjou, and the chairman again, called Ruck.
By the time these were all served, about 10 minutes later, the electricity had been switched back on, Thursday early afternoon. Winter returned to his daily business again.

He had arranged to return to court shortly after to advise of the outcome, and while doing this, the Judge said he would award him £200 for costs. Winter said it wasn't necessary, he only wanted his electricity back, that had been achieved, he was happy enough. The Judge insisted and gave the award, for which Winter was more than grateful, except it had to be yet collected...........
