Talk:Law of Puerto Rico

Economic impact

edit

The entire section on economic impact is absolute nonsense and offensive to non common law lawyers, if it were true most European countries (which are civilian legal systems), the entire of South America and China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan etc... would all be 'economically stunted'. There are moreover no references and its quite obvious to me that the section was written by a common law trained lawyer or much much more likely law student. At either rate the comments are infantile, unproven and offensive to lawyers from either civilian or mixed jurisdictions (such as myself). Consequently I'm deleting it, if someone wants to write a section on economic impact the least they can do is back it up with citations, to my knowledge the area of economic impact of civilian vs common vs mixed jurisdictions is controversial and so it would be an interesting article. From a US point of view the same criticisms of products and services not being introduced into Puerto Rico, having to retain local counsel etc... would apply to Louisiana but in the article on Louisiana law no one has written a similar section. Consequently I conclude that as it stands though there is no reason to let the section remain. 81.157.117.111 (talk) 15:05, 26 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it should be removed. It has been challenged, no sources have been forthcoming, and hence it has been removed. See WP:NOTTRUTH. Int21h (talk) 22:03, 26 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

@Ahnoneemoos: After trimming some material and changing some phrasing, I have removed the tags marking this article as having systemic bias and factual inaccuracy. I think those problems have been fixed, but if you or anyone else still has concerns, please mention them on the talk page and feel free to ping me. -- Beland (talk) 22:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
