|    Why can't law-people understand simple l    |

      XPost: aus.legal              A more accurate question, which is a bit too long is:       "Why do law-people need elaborately simplified explanations       for what normal people see immediately?"              You know the 'trick' question:       "If in a race, you overtake the last runner, which position       do you have", is answered by 90% as "2nd last"; which is       wrong, because the question is invalid. Because the last       runner can't be over taken.              Then there's the human characteristic, of mental inertia:       a line of reasoning once established, is difficult to modify.       --------       All western law has the following:       - the charge which the defendent will be given an        opportunity to defend must be exactly made know        to him, prior to the Court hearing - by the summons        details.       - if a debtor fails to appear in Court, as per summons,        the creditor can be granted a default judgment.        I.e. it is accepted that the creditor's claim is valid.       - if the debtor can show that his, missing the Court        hearing, was not intentional he can be granted a        set-aside of the default judgment, so that he can        state his case.       - if the debtor admits owing the claim, the default        judgment will not be set aside.              Q1. what is the logical reason for refusing to set aside        the default judgment if the debtor admits owing the        claim ?              Q2. what is the difference, if any between *THE* claim        and *A* claim ?              Q3. in the case that a debtor is billed at $11 per month,        and alledges that the correct bill is $10 per month; so        that the debtor therefore admits owing $30 for 3 months        service; has the debtor admitted the claim, where        the summons specified $22 for 2 months service ?              R4. If you can see why the reason given for refusing the set-aside,        given [in writing] as " the debtor admitted owing the,        money", is wrong; please write one sentence, explaining it,        which law-people can understand.              Q5. does the rule of "no set aside for claim admission",        intend to refuse due process were there is a percieved        dispute of the claim ?              Q6. Is there a percieved dispute, to be resolved, in the        above scenario ?                     Thanks for any feedback,              nufsed.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
