Legal definitions often differ from dictionary definitions, you're clearly not a lawyer. And no one said that being a mile away from home constituted neglect. They said it constituted evidence of neglect. I think you don't understand what evidence means.[/quote]

Correct, I am not a lawyer.

So is the lawyerly argument is that being a mile away from home isn't neglect but is evidence of neglect? In my limited experience of lawyers, when lawyers say that [word] might seem to mean [definition], but actually means [something completely different that nobody who was not a lawyer would ever think it means], that's a sign that the lawyers are on shaky ground.[/quote]

Well in this case, it means that the definition is laid out in the regulations. That's how that works usually. You should probably stop opining on stuff you don't understand.[/quote]

Yes, the definition of neglect is in the regulations.

But you haven't explained how something that is not neglect can nonetheless be evidence of neglect.[/quote]
