is that if you are overcharged you have a finite amount of time to<br>complain and then go to court to collect the overcharge. After that time<br>has passed you can not collect in court. If you don't complain by that<br>
time it would seem to be assumed you are mochel. If you are mochel how<br>can there be a sin?<br><br>Basically I am asking whether there is a group of prohibitions which<br>when violated do not constitute sins even though they do require
