This paper attempts to separate legal informatics methods which deal with situations and cases respectively. The aim is to base the distinctions on the legal theory and to develop a theoretical framework. A comparison is presented in the table which lists distinctions. We make an attempt to describe key elements of such a theory and to provide a notation (conceptualisation). Informational processes in legal informatics are in the focus. The notions of terminological subsumption and legal subsumption are attributed to cases and not to situations and are visualised «vertically». They make a distinction from cases that are visualised on the «horizontal» Is stage.
