Seizure scale determines whether it initiates a test case or permanently destroys a business

Evidence

A token seizure of a small part of a manufacturer’s shipments may serve as a convenient way to initiate a test case in a civil action. Multiple seizures, on the other hand, can effeotively put the manufacturer out of business permanently. Should administrators be given such power, which is necessarily exercised in a sumary manner and in advance of adjudication? — Henry M. Hart, Jr. and Albert M. Sacks, The Legal Process, 1137
