... it is for the court to lay down the general standard of care exacted by law.... This will ordinarily take the form of an incantation of the traditional formula of the reasonable and prudent man. In a few situations, however, the legal standard of reasonable conduct has been defined with greater precision. E. g. the care which an occupier must observe for the safety of persons who have come upon his land has been meticulously formulated in accordance with a fine graduation of standards corresponding to the degree of benefit which he derives from their visit. 2, record 16, English, - legal%20standard%20of%20reasonable%20conduct

A human rights impact assessment emphasizes the obligations of states as the primary duty-bearers with respect to international human rights law. It also recalls the corresponding responsibilities of non-state actors to respect human rights, not to benefit from violations of human rights and not to be complicit in human rights violations. In essence, a human rights impact assessment measures the gap between the legal standard and the actual practice. 1, record 17, English, - human%20rights%20impact%20assessment

Equity in the sense of fairness is frequently opposed to law and legality, because that which is fair does not always constitute a legal claim or defence. Hence, when a legal rule or remedy is capable of two interpretations or applications, one literal or restrictive, and the other liberal(that is, calculated to make the rule or remedy operate fairly, and to extend its benefit to as many cases as possible), the latter is called the equitable construction or application.(Jowitt's, 2nd ed. 1977, p. 712). 1, record 22, English, - equitable
