The falacy of FIA's ruling is so apparant...

To prove the falacy of this ruling, consider if McL engineer now were to provide Ferrari a copy of its build sheets and technical data, for just 24 hours, and Ferrari gets to pick the brains of the McL engineer over lunch. How could McL prove that Ferrari benefitted? Yet, would not Ferrari benefit in some way? The benefit must be presumed. The law has always recognized 'presumption,' at least in civil cases. Otherwise, all corporate espionage is tolerated unless the victim can prove the precise benefit derived from the offense. The Sporting Code would become a mockery in this case. In criminal law, are not persons in possession of stolen merchandise 'presumed' to know that it was stolen? Is that not considered 'complicity' with the crime? The World Council must be a bunch of morons totally unfamiliar with legal precepts.
