Clear as mud
"Where the occurrence is outside the experience of the lay person, and the evidence, expert or otherwise, does not establish that such an occurrence ordinarily does not occur without negligence, res ipsa loquitur is inapplicable."Schellenberg v Tunnel Holdings (2000) 200 CLR 121: 140.
That's a quadruple negative. NOT establish, NOT occur, WITHOUT, INapplicable.
Another stupid thing in law: "not un-lalala" doesn't mean "lalala". Like "not unlikely" is not the same as "likely".
And in French, we're doing Tardieu and absurdist theatre which is all about how incomprehensibility and muddleheadedness is somehow DEEP AND MEANINGFUL.
Contorted logic on one hand, vague fuzzies on the other.
