A very long and very qualified list of people who think this is a bad idea.

Also, the infamous Jaffa cake lawsuit.

Just one example of working out edge cases costing a fortune.

Did they have court cases and if so did the court cases somehow harm the economy or the population in some way? I find it odd that you would oppose any law because somebody might file a court case. That seems batshit crazy to me. Virtually every law is eventually tested in the courts.

What a bizarre statement.
