I wrote some time ago that:
At some point, you have to realise that you're playing a game by someone else's rules, a game where things like compassion, rationality, even sanity have no place. A game where the rules can be changed by the enemy at whim, where there really are no rules, no consistency, just pure irrational spite.
Sometimes courts realise too. And lawyers. And when they're so obviously in the wrong, sometimes they surrender.
