Gúbretha Caratniad (Old Irish for "False judgements of Caratnia") is a collection of exceptions to the rules of early Irish law. These exceptions are given in a formulaic manner, as a dialogue between the legendary high king Conn Cétchathach and his judge Caratnia. In each case Caratnia delivers his judgement, Conn objects, and Caratnia explains the exception. The framing figures are legendary, so the dialogue is a teaching device for showing where a general rule gives way, not a record of a real trial between historical persons.
