Court has found in his favour
Hi,
Can you explain what the phrases in boldface mean? Why did the author use 'court' instead of 'the defendant'? Is "he or she" the plaintiff or defendant that was just mentioned?
For the judge to be righteous does not mean that the court has found in his favour. For the plaintiff or defendant to be righteous does not mean that he or she has tried the case properly or impartially.
Thank you.
