What is the Technicalities?
Technicalities is when the Law is ill-designed and ill-thought, so that the main point is missed due to an insignificant delay. This happens very often in Criminal Trials under Common Law, where the regulation of evidence is marred by technicalities: for example, somebody is arrested for possession of 500 grams of cannabis, but because the Police officer who did the arrest did not place the cannabis in the right drawer the evidence becomes inadmissible.
Technicalities
In Canada, stevia can be sold as "food additive" but not as a "sweetener" (although it is a sweetener). In USA, stevia can be sold as "dietary supplement" but not as "food additive". You find it in stores, but if you call it "sweetener" it will be considered as an adulterated product, according to the rules of the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), and makes it subject to seizure. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was denied temporary release in 2008 because he had not accepted an offer to participate in a professional orientation course while in jail. The topic of the course was stitching.

Do you have other examples of similar rules, which simply impose technicalities instead of adding value by means of helping to solve problems?
