In the matter of the thermostat

That the dial was moved in the night by a person or persons, and moved back, and moved again.

Mabel QuillPresiding

Between the hours of ten and seven the temperature in the house changed four times, in two directions, with no meeting having taken place.

The court is asked to determine who holds the dial, not who was cold.

Evidence

  • A thermostat set to a number nobody will claim.
  • One member of the household in three jumpers.
  • One member of the household with a window open.

How are you hearing this?

Alone is a complete hearing. With the household, everybody gets one vote and the court waits for them.
