What are the limitations of rules of priority?

The limitations of rules of priority include their potential rigidity, which can lead to unjust outcomes when strict adherence to established hierarchies fails to consider unique circumstances. Additionally, these rules may not account for evolving societal values or the complexities of individual cases, leading to inconsistencies in application. Furthermore, reliance on priority rules can sometimes overlook the importance of equitable considerations, favoring procedural over substantive justice.
