Why could the case Fisher v Bell show an example of the literal rule to be an absurdity | D was not charged under the restriction of offensive weapons act 1957. Because in literal terms the knives were an "invitation to treat" not a offer to sell he was found not guilty despite the act trying to prevent just this sort of behavior |
