I've lost count of how many times I've read about ridiculous decisions made by English courts.
Most often it is punishing victims who had the audacity to defend themselves when physically attacked.

On one occasion, an idiot on a motorcycle was doing about 4 X the speed limit, and a motorist made a turn in front of him. Somehow the court expected the motorist making the turn to know the oncoming fool was doing >100mph in a zone where he should have been doing ~30mph. The biker was instantly killed, the car & bike totaled, and the motorist was fined, and had his license revoked.
