Interesting choice of words. As I understand it, and I do not have the
judgement transcript, in the British Post Office case those were the
words on which Judge Fraser acquitted the postmasters and found
against the Post Office.
I think the key words may have been "above all else" with respect to
the "interests of the Post Office".
You don't get to say that. Ever.
In law, at least in Britain as I can see it, you don't get to put
reputation or profit or anything else "above all else" or "regardless
of the cost or harm to others". YMMV elsewhere.
