Not so much in france. They dont use the same legal system as America of the UK. They use the civil law approach. The statutes have to clearly lay everything out becuase when a judge rules that ruling is binding only on the instant matter, not on any others, you cant quote a judge from another case to try to sway the judge in your case. Yes the individual judges can attempt to interpret the statutes however they want, but the statutes themselves tend to be numerous and specific in a civil law system becuase they arent allowed to write broad statutes and have judges interpret them and make it more clear. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
