ADM.4:4.3 - Choose the correct comparison result

Distinguish three situations:

SituationResult and next move
Correct participant-relative accounts of one subjectPreserve each account’s meaning and state the correspondence needed for the participant actions. An outgoing payment and an incoming receipt can both describe the same transfer.
Different or related subjectsState the relation between them and use the appropriate facts for each question. A payment instruction, the resulting transfer and an obligation are different subjects; a label such as “payment” can refer to any of them.
Incompatible claims or an unresolved fact about the relevant subjectPreserve the exact claim and uncertainty. Obtain the evidence, qualified interpretation or authorized correction that can resolve it before relying on that disputed conclusion.

These situations are distinguished by the case facts and meanings, not by a preference for agreement. Several can occur in one case: the parties can identify the same transfer and still disagree about the fee or its effect on an obligation.
