  Jarndyce and Jarndyce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jarndyce and Jarndyce is a fictional court case in chancery in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens.
The case concerns the fate of a large inheritance, but has dragged on for many years, so that, by the time it is resolved late in the novel, legal costs have devoured nearly the entire estate.
The little plaintiff or defendant who was promised a new rocking-horse when Jarndyce and Jarndyce should be settled has grown up, possessed himself of a real horse, and trotted away into the other world.

Standing on a seat at the side of the hall, the better to peer into the curtained sanctuary, is a little mad old woman in a squeezed bonnet who is always in court, from its sitting to its rising, and always expecting some incomprehensible judgment to be given in her favour.
Presently he rose courteously and released her, and then he spoke for a minute or two with Richard Carstone, not seated, but standing, and altogether with more ease and less ceremony, as if he still knew, though he WAS Lord Chancellor, how to go straight to the candour of a boy.
Young as she was when her mama died, she remembered how the tears would come into her eyes when she spoke of him and of the noble generosity of his character, which she had said was to be trusted above all earthly things; and Ada trusted it.

I’m in two minds about the flat tax idea, as it will mean the rate being set higher if people towards the bottom end of the income scale are to be excluded altogether.
In a flat tax system, the marginal rate is all that matters and the question of whether that rate should be set below or above the current higher rate of income tax is not a technical detail which can be ironed out later once the battle is won.
Jarndyce, the closing-loopholes debate is entirely separable; it’s the debate over a GAAR (General Anti-Avoidance Rule).
