18. In both LRLT and RRL (with the exception of chapter 11) MacCormick side steps complexities that arise from disputes about the facts/relevant evidence.

19. In fact, MacCormick thinks almost any case can become ‘hard’; his conception of hard cases is thus probably more nuanced than, for example, Ronald Dworkin’s (see Taking Rights Seriously (London: Duckworth 1978), ch. 4).
