case 1: (liability) in principle; case 2: (reasonable) on the face of it Explanation: A coincidence that the asker got involved in the very same question a year ago. Prisma dictionary> in itself. So yes, per se or as such. But, in a legal context, in principle is often a 'get-out' qualifier, as I have herad my own ex-law firm's clients complain at face-to-face meetings and conferences, rather than on paper. cf. in DE: an und für sich which is, like quasi > as it were, a totally meaningless conversational filler-word.
