Comment on Show HN: International Legal Dictionary

Interesting. I went to look for England&Wales entries and the first local (to UK) entry was from Ireland: https://www.public.law/dictionary/entries/emergency-care-ord....

It talks about "Tusla", which term was entirely opaque to me. Apparently it's a neonym for a child welfare agency. An otherwise very readable sentence became entirely opaque due to use of a proper noun.

The "ex parte" entry appears to say that it's a two party proceeding, in USA, is that true? In UK it's one-party before the court/tribunal. Multi-party proceedings where a party fails to respond are not ex parte in UK law (AFAIK) but are still inter partes.
