If Germany SIGNED an agreement with Poland recognizing something that
de facto existed, doesn't that
ipso facto make it
de jure QED?
J Hofmann Kemp, having fun with language...
If you are on vacation or out of the country for a while and a transient breaks in your house
and lives there. He lives de facto in your house . But does he de jure live in your house ????
H. Jonat
He is if you sign something that says he can live there. That's the definition of
de jure. Duh! --
Paul Drye
- Was just going to say that, Paul -- although, to complete the analogy, it's more like you found out someone was illegally living in your house, and then agreed in writing not to press charges -- this not only makes it de jure, but would set a precedent for future legal occupation...JHK
