Document Summary
It"s when those peaceful everyday actions break down and countries rely on force it becomes the laws of war or international humanitarian law. A father is watering his lawn and his teenage daughter is coming home and he sprays her with the hose. Her makeup gets ruined and she gets hysterical. What rule could apply: you have to narrow down the defense and find the place its located. It"s important to find that source to avoid arbitrariness. If we don"t have a place where things are defined and clarified everyone would be suing for any reason: what if this incident had taken place in her cottage in gatineau, but tina is suing in. Ontario: you can"t transplant quebec"s law to ontario, to determine what the laws called in ontario you need to find the source. If there is no equivalent you can turn to precedent.
