[QUOTE="Radagast, post: 72391235, member: 20522"] "Individual justice" was not a category I was using, and it's not a category that I've heard lawyers use either. I was distinguishing [B]justice based on the law[/B] from "social justice." Here in Australia, the minimum wage was certainly very much in the first category. The question arose as to what "fair and reasonable wages" meant, a judge decided it meant 7 shillings per day or more, and that then established a precedent. That was justice based on the law. "Social justice," in contrast, is [B]extra-legal[/B]. It penalises actions which are not actually against the law, and the penalties are typically applied not by the courts, but by boycotts, protests, private companies, etc. "Social justice" is never achieved, because the activists never pack up and go home. They just keep introducing new demands. [/QUOTE]
