[blml] Indemnity

[Konrad Ciborowski]

Hi gang,

    I am currently working on tne Polish version of the 2007
Laws and I am having some trouble with L12A1. As the matter of
fact I've always had but now that I'm trying to fine tune
the translation I thought I might go ahead and, for
a change, actually try to understand what I'm talking about.

Here it is:

    The Director may award an adjusted score when he judges that these
Laws do not provide indemnity to a non-offending contestant for the
particular type of violation committed by an opponent.

    Webster defines "indemnity" as "security against hurt, 
loss, or damage". 

    So when exactly can the TD wheel out L12A1? 

    As English is not my first language I'd appreciate an explanation
laid out in simple words and, more important, in practical terms.
Imagine you are a boxing coach talking to your boxer between rounds.
Simple, short, practical terms, please. Keep it simple. 
L12A1 for dummies.

    I'd really like to see a specific example when the TD assigns
an adjusted score and L12A1 is the basis of the ruling rather than
any of the MI laws, or UI laws, or could-have-known laws or whatever. Emphasis on "specific example". An example when we really need 
L12A1 or else someone would get away with murder.

    I have never been able to even invent such a case, much less
witness one in real life. So please let me overcome my limitation.

Best regards,
