Not sure. It could be a situation like ‘big pharma’, but with plumbers, so, ‘Big Crack’…
It might also have been an oversight in the original legislation that led to the 2000 laws overreaching, but judges simply applying the Golden Rule to interpret the legislation as a lesser standard, while they waited for legislators to pull their pants up, which in this case took just a smidge over two decades. So a pretty quick turn around if you concenttrate only on the ‘two’ in that last sentence.
