Deontic closure and conflict in legal reasoning
Abstract
We identify some legal reasoning patterns concerning deontic closure and conflicts in defeasible deontic logics. First, whether the logic allows the derivation of permissions from conflicting norms. Second, whether the logic treats norms as closed under logical implication. We suggest appropriate approaches for legal settings.
