[1056] Is a legal issue arising from an offense (āpattādhikaraṇa) a legal issue concerning business (kiccādhikaraṇa), a legal issue arising from a dispute (vivādādhikaraṇa), or a legal issue arising from an accusation (anuvādādhikaraṇa)?
A legal issue arising from an offense is not a legal issue concerning business, is not a legal issue arising from a dispute, and is not a legal issue arising from an accusation. Nevertheless, with a legal issue arising from an offense as condition, there may come to be a legal issue concerning business, a legal issue arising from a dispute, and a legal issue arising from an accusation. In what way? The five classes of offenses (āpattikkhandhā) are a legal issue arising from an offense; the seven classes of offenses, too, are a legal issue arising from an offense — this is called a legal issue arising from an offense.
The Saṅgha disputes about a legal issue arising from an offense: this is a legal issue arising from a dispute. While disputing, one accuses: this is a legal issue arising from an accusation. While accusing, one commits an offense (āpatti): this is a legal issue arising from an offense. On account of that offense, the Saṅgha performs a formal act (kamma): this is a legal issue concerning business. Thus, with a legal issue arising from an offense as condition, there comes to be a legal issue concerning business, there comes to be a legal issue arising from a dispute, and there comes to be a legal issue arising from an accusation.
