Abstract
I submit a few remarks concerning some limits of the Allen and Pardo’s theory and about the validity of narrativism as a theory of judicial decisions. Moreover, I discuss disputable ideas of abductive inferences and of holistical decisions on the facts in issue. Finally I suggest the opportunity of dealing with the ‘maximisation of the weight of evidence’.
