annulment is one of the institutions of contract cancellation in shiite jurisprudence and law. one of the primary questions about every phenomenon is the question of the nature and character. although traditionally shiite jurists have held comparative and critical approaches toward the common views of sunni jurists about the nature of annulment, they have not typically looked at the nature of c...

In this paper we investigate how to model legal abrogation and annulment in Defeasible Logic. We examine some options that embed in this setting, and similar rule-based systems, ideas from belief and base revision. In both cases, our conclusion is negative, which suggests to adopt a different logical model.

INTRODUCTION Section 5(ii) of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA) states that under certain circumstances, mental illness is accepted as a ground for the annulment of marriage, while Section 13(1) (iii) states that mental illness is a ground for divorce. There is little data on how this provision is used and applied in matrimonial petitions. This paper assesses judicial practices in divorce case...

In this paper we propose a temporal extension of Defeasible Logic to model legal modifications, such as abrogation and annulment. Hence, this framework overcomes the difficulty, discussed elsewhere [7], of capturing these modification types using belief and base revision.

Legal dynamics is an important aspect of legal reasoning that inspired the area of belief revision. While formal models of belief revision have been thoroughly examined, the formalisation of legal dynamic has been mostly neglected. In this contribution we propose Temporal Defeasible Logic to model legal dynamics. We build such a logic in steps starting from basic defeasible logic, and we show h...

A nine months old girl with prenatal diagnosis of bilateral hydronephrosis underwent serious studies and in view of the presumed diagnosis of right functional annulment, a right laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was performed. The anatomopatological result was suggestive of tuberculosis without previous contact with the disease. Postoperatively, the child received antituberculosis therapy (ATT) f...
