In reply to the discussion: FISA & EPCA the facts & nothing more [View all]Monkie
(1,301 posts)47. a good example of ambiguity in the law, is the word Fair use
this i believe is a deliberate case of ambiguity?
this is the best example i can give of the problems with ambiguous language, as it is a subject i am more familiar with.
i found a good example of this discussion in the university of Pennsylvania law review, the word ambiguous is used almost continuously, and the problems arising from this are discussed at length
