Exactly. Justice is meant to be blind, and to argue that even if you comply with the law but are still guilty is the sort of injustice present in the worst kakistocracies. The sort of injustice that led to the terror in post Revolutionary France. A lone accusation is enough to prove guilt.Please report back if you ever win a case with that “spirit of law” argument. Thanks. And which country are you referring to by “western world”?! Clearly law and enforcement of it is not the same throughout the EU and the USA. Heck the law ain’t even the same in all of the states in the USA.
it’s like the concept of “social” justice. Just as sticking “social” in front of a word almost always reverses its meaning, so here: you can comply with every single law, but still be seen as guilty by social justice manipulators.
in this case, Ireland, a sovereign country, created a tax regime that it believed attracted business. It worked, and the EUweenies didn’t like it. End of story.
