I guess < sulks >Heh. Well, y'all are taking all of our acting jobs! Turnabout is fair play, right?
I totally acknowledge that, and I think you'd be surprised by how much of that I'm aware of.Seriously, though, there is a vast gulf between the American and English system which makes the vagaries of language usage look minute in comparison, and just small things like the distinctions between state and federal law which are ingrained in any American are often lost on those across the pond- let alone the more peculiar issues that have arisen over time and the distinctions we have from fifty sovereign states.
However I do maintain some fairly demented judgements have been in US IP law cases, especially in our friend The Western District of Texas (though I think I heard there was some action being done to rectify this last year), though that's largely patent stuff. I'm not here to zing the US civil law system, I mean, it has issues (seriously just make the loser pay - I know there are a few places that do actually do that - and limit costs more!), men in glass houses and so on, given how libel/defamation is handled here, which is just a big fat oof for Britain and anything resembling justice.
