Sufficient connection test

The sufficient connection test is a legal standard used to determine if one part of a law or regulation applies to a particular situation. It checks whether there is enough of a direct link or relationship between the law and the specific case to justify its application. In essence, it asks: "Is this connection strong enough to warrant applying the rule?" If the connection is sufficient, the law applies; if not, other rules or exemptions may be considered. This test helps ensure laws are applied fairly and appropriately based on the circumstances.
