  What do you mean by a copy of legislation? Why would it be useful?
  • ldoughty 4y ago
    It's a good idea ... It's work you can do offline... If you're in a position where you are asked to review sections of a contract. while not a lawyer myself, our lawyers tend to send over documents with technical requirements highlighted for review.. e.g. "Use TLS 1.1 or greater" There's also things like HECVAT or similar documents

    I've heard that Americans get sued/like to sue a lot.

      Are you saying that citizens of a certain country prefer to have their rights defended(if wronged) and are familiar in using the mechanisms provided to them by the legal system? Then yes, some people "like" to have their rights defended.
      • lm28469 4y ago
        Ah yes because people in Europe and the rest of the world are lawless and don't like to defend their rights The truth is that this system profits to a lot of people and "profit above all" is also a corner stone of american culture, other places have regulations against these as a lot of it is deemed abusive. https://www.acsh.org/news/2019/12/27/blame-and-claim-can-we-fix-americas-uniquely-litigious-culture-14477 https://www.acsh.org/news/2019/12/27/blame-and-claim-can-we-... If you burn yourself with coffee and sue the restaurant, or crash your e scooter and sue the city for having ... sidewalks you're not defending you're rights, you're being a clown

          A civil law system in high use suggests it's more affordable and accessible and hence, useful than one that is not. As to the coffee, it seems you've fallen prey to clever PR by one of those "profit above all" entities you seem to despise. From [1]: > There was a famous lawsuit in the 1990s, Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants, in which a 79-year-old woman sued McDonald’s because the coffee she had bought, and spilled, was too hot. Thanks to some very good PR by the chain, it was widely seen as a ridiculous suit — a sign of how crazily litigious the U.S. had become, and how everyone was desperate to sue themselves rich. People thought the litigant was driving at the time of the spill, which she wasn’t, and that she was unharmed and just out to make a buck, which also wasn’t true — she required skin grafts for third-degree burns and was permanently disfigured by the incident, plus only took it to a lawsuit after McDonald’s offered her what she saw as an insulting $800 sum. > McDonald’s were selling their coffee at completely bonkers temperatures — an undrinkably hot 190 degrees, close to boiling point and guaranteed to burn any human flesh it came into contact with (but also guaranteed to keep it fresh in the store longer, a money-saving move).

              Have you tried drinking coffee that you didn't know was 190F/88C until you were already severely burnt and disfigured? No? Then don't presume to know better than the defendant about their actions.

              The sympathy just pours off you - weren't you lamenting the putting of profits for people before? Ronnie's was selling coffee far above the temperature one should expect because it served their profit margin better. I don't expect you to necessarily follow the link but you could've read the quote before replying.

    It helps to make people sweat when you break out your pocket dictionary sized edition of legislation with many little post-it book marks and thumb through to relevant sections mid conversation.
