Guest Nancy N. Posted September 11, 2015 at 11:52 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 at 11:52 AM And for a citation, see RONR 11th ed., p. 203, l. 21 to p. 204, l. 4. Hieu, I don't see how your citation deals with debatability. How do you figure? It looks to me as if p. 205, first bullet, and p. 207, bullet from line 5, are what apply best, but I see nothing clear and explicit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Honemann Posted September 11, 2015 at 12:08 PM Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 at 12:08 PM Pages 206-207 seem pretty clear and explicit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
