<p>A legal professional can be personally liable for not finding the most recent case-law.<p>The knowledge cut off gap means the models sometimes don't know about the most recent case-law, in a given situation.<p>I've seent his happen multiple times now. Accountants and legal professionals advising clients based on outdated information assembled through chat-gtp, claude and copilot.<p>Professionals drafting letters and missing recent case-law which handles their exact case. It's unreliable.So it can save you some work; but it can't save you all of the work. And in some cases its mistakes really force you to redo all the work, and more, to be thorough and have confidence in the result.</p>

<p>The difference is you have to sue for e.g. negligence if a term is reasonable but not implied in the contract.<p>In civil law you can sue with an action under contract enforcement, which carries a lighter burden of proof</p>

<p>In most European countries, UK excluded, the law of contracts doesn't work this way.<p>Reasonableness and good faith are implied in contracts. If a clause kills the essence of a contract maliciously, the court will not enforce it.</p>

<p>You were there? No? You watched the taped proceedings then?<p>I don't think you appreciate the way justice becomes irrelevant in fascist and tyrannical countries.<p>The 'show' of fair justice, dispensed with care and deliberation, is something you seem to take for granted.<p>In most countries you get put up against a wall, and shot, for saying the wrong things about the right people.<p>I find your argument uniquely cowardly: Power without justice is a recipe for tyranny. And the position that tyranny should be the norm is something an evil or cowardly person espouses.<p>Yes, there is plenty of atrocity. Pretending the allied behavior is as atrocious as Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, or Hitler, is pretentious relativism.</p>

<p>That's a straw man; There are many cultures that have a strong emphasis on honor/shame mechanics, which in turn drive suicides in those cultures. And which match cultural expectations in a grim kind of way.<p>The fact that people want to change their culture is possibly an early indication of a shift, which could take decades or centuries to actually occur. And such a cultural shift can also lose momentum and be still-born.<p>---<p>I find counting suicides innovative. But if you do it in a global context without looking at the cultures as confounding factor: It's wrong.<p>There are many other confounding factors, such as a forgiving national (personal) bankruptcy regime. The USA has a pretty forgiving regime compared to other countries. But that doesn't mean you can say it correlates with how happy people are. Because - like suicides - the number of people that go bankrupt might not significantly correlate to the average happiness rate. Because a (small) minority of people go bankrupt / commit suicide.<p>It's in fact perfectly reasonable and possible to suppose that a country with higher average suicides and harsher penalties for bankruptcy still ends up higher on the happiness index. Because perhaps health and social-contact / family factors impact the rating more, on average.</p>

<p>Suicides are hugely affected by cultural norms. In certain Asian cultures this has quite the history, so this can't be a correct assumption.</p>

<p>Personally my approach has been to start with big-ints and add a GUID code field if it becomes necessary. And then provide imports where you can match objects based on their code, if you ever need to import/export between tenants, with complex object relationships.<p>But that also adds complexity.</p>

<p>That's not true, because there is a hierarchy of legality.<p>If a principle of the EU legal order is at stake, such as the right to privacy, then that constitutional imperative can very well override a new law.<p>The commission and parliament are well aware of this risk. They often choose to have laws advised on by the courts, in advance. To avoid a legal mess.<p>This is normal in a functional democracy. To avoid abuse of power / overreach by any institution.</p>
