Thank you for bringing this up. I never knew PB law was a thing. I thought it was just poorly written. Being a yank, I just assumed they forgot the corner cases. I am anti authoritarian by nature so I tend to view authorities as Djinn that must be tightly constrained by wording lest they find a way to misbehave. I would have thought PB would have a higher risk of regulatory capture and corruption of regulators than RB. What is a small business owner's recourse if a regulation is being selectively enforced to favor a competitor? To they need to find funds to retain legal representation? What if the competitor is much larger?
Edit: I realized this might sound passive aggressive. I like the idea of human judgement in regulation, but I really want to know what checks are commonly used to account for all actors involved potentially being malicious.
