Suppose a legal section is like this :-
"No one shall construct in any house a room having more than four corners. An occupant who has constructed more than four corners in a room, shall be liable to be punished for 2 years in jail"
Now suppose police finds violation of this law and he files case.
Lawyer will defend his client in following way:
1) Sir, I am owner of this house, but I am not residing there. I am not occupant. This law does not apply to me. Case be dismissed.
Or
2) Sir, I am occupant and I do reside here, but I have not constructed this room. This law applies only to "Occupant who has constructed". Since, I have not constructed, this law does not apply to me, case be dismissed.
Or
3) Sir, my room has only 3 corners. The law applies only to the rooms having more than 4 corners only. This law does not apply to me. So case be dismissed.
Or
4) Sir, the law applies only to "rooms constructed in a house". It does not apply to a "Garage constructed in a house". This is a garage in a house. So the law does not apply to me, so case be dismissed.
Or
5) Sir, this room is not constructed in a house. It is constructed in a Farmhouse. This law does not apply to farmhouses, so case be dismissed.
Or
6) On and on... Many arguments.
