+=+ The attitude of the WBFLC, supported in the 
CoP by the standing WBF Appeals Committee, is 
that what is appropriate for regulation should be left 
to the regulators. Being given the principles of the law 
it is the Directors (supported by and subject to the 
appeals structure) whose prerogative it is to make 
the bridge judgements in the application of the laws.

Lazy vague laws (that seek to devolve responsibility to local jurisdictions and to encourage subjective assessments by directors) result in inconsistent rulings :(

Inconsistent rulings mean that justice is neither done nor seen to be done :(

A modicum of subjectivity is unavoidable, so some inconsistent rulings are inevitable but it is a matter of regret that the WBFLC deliberately promote such unfairness as a matter of policy :(

No law-makers and few directors seem to sympathise with this concern of players.
