Abstract

In this paper a new formal model of argument accrual is proposed as an adaptation of the ASPIC+ framework for structured argumentation. The new model aims to overcome several weaknesses of existing proposals. It is shown to have desirable formal properties that are in line with standard work on formal argumentation, and to be applicable to a range of situations in legal reasoning.
