Talk:Aldred's Case

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note: this article was formerly called "William Aldred", and marked as a biography stub, even though its entire content was about the case, not the person. Since this is a famous legal case involving a person who is not otherwise notable, I've now renamed it, and removed it from that category, and also from the WikiProject Biography ratings system. -- The Anome (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for expert attention

[edit]

It would be useful to have more on exactly why this otherwise apparently obscure case has been cited so often in other cases, the significance of the precedent set, and the nature of subsequent precedents set by other cases which have cited it. -- The Anome (talk) 12:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification needed

[edit]

The quoted paragraph is difficult to understand - at least to me - especially since it begins with:

By force of which custom he justified the stopping of the said windows; [...]

The mention of "windows" is confusing here because the article does not refer to any windows, nor it is clear why would windows - in this case or any other case, possibly a precedent, be relevant. A summary of that paragraph would really be useful for the reader. GregorB (talk) 18:12, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
