The real problem comes with the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, because we are told that there is insufficient evidence for a criminal prosecution. I do not know whether that is right or wrong. Our judicial system makes the decisions of the Director of Public Prosecutions independent of political considerations, and that is absolutely right--politicians have no right to try to influence individual prosecutions--but, like my hon. Friends, I am firmly of the opinion that the Director of Public Prosecutions in 1989 should have taken steps to bring somebody to book, and I think that the evidence could still be reappraised to allow that to happen. If the evidence is marginal, and there are two counsels' opinions on the matter, let the courts decide, because that is what our justice system is all about.

[edit] Legal liability
It is the legal bound obligation to pay debts.[1]
In law a legal liability is a situation in which a person is financially and legally responsible, such in situations of tort concerning property or reputation and, therefore, must pay compensation for any damage incurred; liability may be civil or criminal. See Strict liability. Under English law, with the passing of the Theft Act 1978, it is an offense to dishonestly evade a liability. Payment of damages usually resolved the liability. Vicarious liability arises under the common law doctrine of agency – respondeat superior – the responsibility of the superior for the acts of their subordinate

Si expresia de mai sus si celalata unde am mai vazut "idiotismul " sunt perfect traductibile ba chiar cu expresii specializate in cazul de fata
Daca "idiotism" are cumva alt sens decat cel indicat de mine, as fi recunoscatoare pentru referintele care sa indice acest lucru
Pana una alta DEX zice ca :
