| Legal uncertainty |
One of the seven types of uncertainty distinguished by De Marchi et al. in their checklist for characterizing uncertainty in
environmental emergencies:
institutional, legal, moral, proprietary, scientific, situational, and societal uncertainty. Legal uncertainty is relevant "wherever agents must consider future
contingencies of personal liability for their actions (or inactions)". High legal uncertainty can result in defensive
responses in regard to both decision making and release of
information. Legal uncertainty may also play a role where actions are
conditioned on the clarity or otherwise of a legal framework in
allowing one to predict the consequences of particular actions. |
| Leidraad |
Leidraad is a Dutch word and has no satisfactory English
equivalent. It constitutes an offering of
guidance which can be taken up if it helps or discarded if
not. |
