About 3 years ago I gave a paper on this topic to a law conference. One of the things I suggested then is that laywers should start adding "choice of timescale" clauses to the "choice of law" clauses they already use. Whether anyone has actually done so, I don't know. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: cl...@davros.org | it will get its revenge.
