{{pe}}“[[With respect to]]” (aka “[[in respect of]]”) | {{pe}}“[[With respect to]]” (aka “[[in respect of]]”) is a {{tag|prepositional phrase}}, like “[[in relation to]]” or “[[in connection with]]” that puts two things loosely in connection with each other, without implying a causal link between them. It’s — literally — a ''meta''preposition. Very meta. | ||
A good one to use if your [[Mediocre lawyer|natural fear of your own language]] cautions you against stronger prepositions, that ''do'' imply a causal link, like “in”, “[[under]]”, “[[arising out of]]” or “from”, lest you should have missed something. | A good one to use if your [[Mediocre lawyer|natural fear of your own language]] cautions you against stronger prepositions, that ''do'' imply a causal link, like “in”, “[[under]]”, “[[arising out of]]” or “from”, lest you should have missed something. |
