Respectfully, the fact that we're having this discussion means some participants aren't adhering to the technical definition. There's a meandering, geographically and socialogically heterogeneous definition that is non-technical. In court, I believe a technical expert would use the former, not the latter (unless specifically required to do otherwise).
- Silhouette 9y agoWhat do you think that definition is? I've never seen a single, authoritative, technical definition of the term, nor anyone with the authority to write one.
- DanBC 9y agoEnglish courts don't like to give specific technical meanings to words. They prefer to use the everyday meaning as understood by the reasonable person. I understand this is perhaps a cultural difference to the US.
