think it is a waste of time to get too hung up on
Parminder’s use of the public/private dichotomy. His
concerns are clear based on the specific examples he
provided of issues (OFAC, antitrust, etc.) in the message I
just replied to.

I am happy agree with these - both Greg's and Milton's -
descriptions of public versus private law... That is as much clarity
we can get for a social-legal concept, and not one of natural
sciences.... I dont think I said anything at all different in how I
described them, but whatever... parminder ]<br>

also appears to be a usage of these two terms based
on how the laws are enforced -- a public law is one
enforced by the state, while a private law is
enforced by one individual/entity against another.
However, there are many laws (at least in the US)
that offer both state and private causes of action
(e.g., both Department of Justice or a private
plaintiff can bring a claim under the Americans with
Disabilities Act).<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Can you clarify what you mean by "public law" and
"private law"? Without a better understanding, it
would be premature to answer your question.
Alternatively, you could rephrase this without
reliance on a public law/private law dichotomy.
