| Description | In this paper we present a refined coherence as constraint satisfaction framework as a potent tool for representation of judicial reasoning. We demonstrate usefulness of the framework on a model of the famous Popov v Hayashi case. Although we do not claim that the presented framework can be already considered fully developed we believe that the account constitutes a major improvement over those that have been published previously. The resulting representation is strongly anchored in a raw text of the decision itself and by means of formal logic can be transformed to a graphical representation which is a surprisingly intuitive and transparent account of application of rules in legal cases. |
