which seem to have AH-vibes.
2 short pieces of fiction in the form of legal advice / decisions... the laws and people are fictitious. As I enjoy reading real OTL legal advice and decisions for fun, I am unsurprised at enjoying these.

And if Sir continues to suggest otherwise, I am afraid I will have to consider Sir to be Unwell, as defined by the Mental Health Act.")
Given the structure of these sorts of legal documents, which often try to summarise a lengthy history of the case, and often discuss other related and historical cases, I am surprised more AH doesn't use them as "sources". On the other hand, possibly people-other-than-me wouldn't enjoy the format as much as I do...
