Despite my 3-digit IQ, I don't understand a lot of things ... like conspiracy theories.

3 digit can be anything from 100 to 999.

#4. You know there is a stereotypical expression that Canadians apologize for everything? Well, I don't know if there is any truth to that, but in 2009 they did pass a law in Ontario, Canada to make sure saying Sorry cannot be used in court as an expression of guilt.

If you take it out of context like you did, then even 3.14 is 3 digits.

You accuse me of crime you are committing yourself supported by fallacious arguments. This is called hypocrisy.

Nah, 'tis called small talk.

The original context was IQ so the range for 3-digit IQ is 100 to 300.

Although you quoted me, your actual reply will make people think of integers.

I just followed on your humor with 3.14. I'm sorry if you found the "out of context" descriptor offensive.

If I got any of it wrong, please enlighten me. I'll try not to make similar mistakes again.

Oh, nothing, 3.14 is just completely out of context.

Common law ...

such a strange juridical system.

 

[Cold_Sun]

Common law ...

such a strange juridical system.

Technically Apology act would be an instance of Civil Law. Common law is law derived from customs and case laws.

But common law is funny too. They generally state the obvious so intensely. (for an interesting read, check R vs. Lipman where the court finally realised intoxicating yourself cannot get you off murder )

 

[Cold_Sun]

But why did it have to be Canada! smh.

Well, we civil lawyers use the term "common law" to denote the Anglosaxonian law family regardless of whether it is statutory law or case law while civil law is reserved to the continental law traditions.

It is only strange because this apology describes in civil law what is commonly known as confession. The thing is though that the "apology" in the act does neither fulfil the objective nor subjective criteria to qualify as a confession (written form of any such declaration is required as well if extrajudicial) according to Italian civil law.

That is so funny about this act, that it is completely redundant as no sane civil law judge of this world would ever consider basing civil responsibility on a simple apology.

 

[Assurbanipal_II]

Interesting, common law is only used by ex-English colonies. Nobody else uses it.

I was speaking from more of a jurisprudence stand-point.
This is a dead letter and I don't see any real application of the same in any court. Confession even in common law origin country like or hybrid institutions like in mine has specific procedures that need to be fulfilled to constitute evidence in court.

Common law did originate and spread with the British Empire, so it makes sense. But even UK now isn't strictly a common law nation.

I am relieved. It seems crazy that you need a specific act to say sorry.

Thanks to the glorious EU. But joke aside, the common law/ civil law divide is more about certain legal principles and doctrinal aspects. And even in civil law there a strong difference between the French and German law family.

For example, Japan initially adopted the code Napoleon, but later changed to German system after the BGB was introduced as Germany was regarded as the height of western jurisprudence back then. South Korea, China, Taiwan, they all chose the German civil law at the end of the 19th century.

Because Canada needed it I guess! xD

What a law student answer.

This is a dead letter (non-applicable) law and I don't see any real application of the same in any court.
