If you cannot be bothered to do this then you certainly shouldn't start offering legal interpretaions and accusing people of breaking the law - as Dale was daft enough to do. And yes you can only break the letter of the law - laws don't have spirits much as we might want them to!tory boys never grow uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172736984147732661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-89161091504616442562007-11-30T23:48:00.000+00:002007-11-30T23:48:00.000+00:00But they could just let it sit around and still ha...But they could just let it sit around and still have the option to cash it if they need it. That's the reason for the rule -- you have to declare upon receipt, not later on, when you use the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-8448109718571943302007-11-30T21:40:00.000+00:002007-11-30T21:40:00.000+00:00You'd need to look at the wording of the act to de...You'd need to look at the wording of the act to decide what receiving a donation and making a donation was in this case. <BR/><BR/>Consider, "bribing or attempting to bribe a police officer" and "selling or offering for sale a stolen car". Proscribing the attempted offence stops a horse and cart being driven through the law. <BR/><BR/>From what I've read of it, the PPER is poorly drafted, and receiving a cheque and not cashing it probably doesn't class as making and receiving a donation. It reads as if these donations were expected to be made in cash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-69252642065773872072007-11-30T20:38:00.000+00:002007-11-30T20:38:00.000+00:00As much as I want to see this shower of sh1t off t...As much as I want to see this shower of sh1t off to the wilderness, I'd rather it be for real, wrong stuff than minor mistakes like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-81777805912346282022007-11-30T19:37:00.000+00:002007-11-30T19:37:00.000+00:00The law is ridiculous in this respect.The law is ridiculous in this respect.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-22921483471247639382007-11-30T19:16:00.000+00:002007-11-30T19:16:00.000+00:00It would be fun if the bribes were returned to Abr...It would be fun if the bribes were returned to Abrahams as promised.... then Liebour instructed to forfeit a sum equal to those illegal donations... as required by law.haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01890864334999930139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-77232096841660390242007-11-30T17:52:00.000+00:002007-11-30T17:52:00.000+00:00If it was never cashed then the donor never actual...If it was never cashed then the donor never actually gave them money, so nothing to return?
