In short, rules are made to be broken, because if everyone travels within the limits of given rules, no horizon will ever be expanded. As a society, we have the task of constantly questioning the rules and making sure that we abandon them when we don`t mean anything bad and act for the benefit of those around us. That doesn`t mean we should break the rules just to break them. We should only break the rules to improve society. Citing the Supreme Court`s ruling in the Eberhardt case, the 11th Judicial District said: „These rules for handling claims thus guarantee a party that raises them correctly, but do not apply the same result if the party loses them. At least in the 11th District Court of Appeals, the rules cannot be broken, but strictly followed in order to appeal CAFA`s pretrial detention. Overall, rules are created for a specific reason created for a particular situation – meaning they don`t all apply every time and in all scenarios, and therefore not all of them need to be followed. You follow some of them, you break some of them, consciously or unconsciously, but it`s important to be aware that rule violations lead to other rule violations, according to Gino`s research. Therefore, the reason for rule violations becomes more critical – is it because you feel powerful or want to be creative? Or because you just want a sense of freedom? When you break a rule, you question a certain way of thinking. Therefore, breaking a rule in itself is not the last step – it is usually a matter of looking beyond and considering the need to adapt the rules or create new rules. Updating an old rule only helps the rulebreaker – and everyone else.
The Court rejected the argument that the Supreme Court`s decision in Eberhardt v. United States, 546 U.S. 12, 126 S.Ct. 403 (2005) overturned the District Court`s decisions that Rule 5 applies to appeals from CAFA remand orders. In Eberhardt, the Supreme Court found that the provisions of Fed.R.Crim.P. 33 lacked jurisdiction and pointed out that „there is a crucial difference between a rule of jurisdiction ratione materiae and a rigid rule governing the processing of applications“. The 11th Judicial District concluded that Eberhardt, dealing only with the issue of Rule 33, would follow „extrapolate from its effects a decision on a matter that was not before [the Supreme Court] in order to overturn the established law of the county.“ The Court held that on 11. The district must determine that the requirements of Rule 5 have jurisdiction until the Supreme Court or the 11th Judicial Circuit in bench session quashes previous District Court cases dealing with Rule 5 and CAFA. „The takeaway here is that how the rules are designed is also important, and they should be a topic of study in their own right,“ says Ramanujam. Our intuition was that the rules that were high in both types of complexity would be harder to follow.
Since organizations rely on routines to follow rules, complex rules would require complex routines that would be more difficult to execute reliably. As expected, both types of rule complexity increased non-compliance. The two also reinforced each other, so many components and connections made it much more likely that the rule would be broken. Compared to a standalone rule with a single component, a rule was 78% more likely to be broken if all other things were otherwise equal. Organizations are „immersed in a sea of laws“ made up of rules that are becoming increasingly complex. Regulators often expand regulations by establishing additional provisions to make them more comprehensive. These same agencies often reinforce the interconnectedness of rules, especially in response to crises. The results of our study suggest that both trends may have unintended consequences. The expression is a way of saying that there are times when the rules cannot be done perfectly and that following the rules can give exactly the result you want to avoid. In these times, the rules should be broken.
But that`s easier said than done. But often, this is not the case. We are breaking the same rules that were created for the betterment of society. The same rules that are created for our safety and well-being.
