Colleagues: Sounds To Go and several others have added spice to the mix in their views that the law is indeed subject to interpretation and that the bench is given the power and authority to make those interpretations...though supposedly to be limited to the principles of law.
However all have witnessed, perhaps not in a court of law, how the power to adjudicate often defies common sense, common good, human rights, common law, etc. In other words, the powers-to-be have come to a conclusion before the proceedings begin, and then back in to that decision, finding the laws that support their predisposition and sometimes offering an interpretation that blatantly flies in the face of all that is reasonable. Happens all the time and there is NO preventing it. Absolute power absolutely corrupts.
If a parent, how many times has the phrase, "Because I said so." been the final decision?
If the court sees the DJ as a child, a stupid oaf, wishy washy, and having no covenant whatsoever, one can almost be assured of an unfavorable outcome. While we have seen several Judge Judy incidents involving DJs, ever notice how unprepared they were? How the DJ lacked decorum? How the DJ couldn't produce a shred of supporting legal documents? And the DJ community collectively scoffed, saying this would never happen to me, and yet seemingly, in reading some of the above, nothing was learned from it.
When giving a presentation on the unqiue requirements of a solid Mobile DJ contract, the opening line is always similar to this advisory...
"The purpose of a well written contract is not to guarantee a win in a court of law, it is to prevent the need to go there in the first place."
