Subject: [RDG:] Quote of the day
"... I would myself avoid the reference to a restitutionary remedy, since the pond called restitution is of uncertain limits and surrounded by a variety of anglers using different tackle; and wrong use of the word can have the effect of a brick causing ripples to occur in unexpected directions."
Westminster City Council v. Porter [2002] EWHC 1589 (Ch), per Hart J.

LOL!

And also probably true. The same word can mean different things to different people in both subtle and sometimes very large.

Kind regards
