Applicability for laws and regulations shouldn't be subclasses #16

Open fjmanion opened 6 years ago

Applicability, whether for laws or regulations, shouldn't be cause for creating subclasses, unless these subclasses are defined classes. This is because the same law can be applicable to one case, but not to others, so applicability is a relational notion.
