Exactly. It's ridiculous to jump to the assumption that judges are being paid off when they correctly interpreted the law as written.
The law needs to be changed, of course. But that's not up to the judges.
- matheusmoreira 5y ago> But that's not up to the judges. Sure it is. English common law countries place heavy emphasis on precedent. If the judge had refused to take the law literally in this case and done the reasonable thing instead, chances are this precedent would be cited in any future lawsuits of this sort.
