Administration’s digital communication often comes in direct contact with law. At best, it can be used to quickly spread new legal rules. But at worst, it can spread wrong interpretation of law, meaning Administrations could be part of a general confusion about the scope and the meaning of a legal rule.
This case, involving bike riding and lockdown rules, shows how the judge may be reacting in order to re- establish a lawful interpretation of the law. But moreover, it shows the need for the Administrations to tackle digital communication’s matters when they are used to explain the law to the public.
