Ultra Vires
In the UK there is a legal concept of “Ultra Vires”. If it’s non-, sub- or super-human, or, non-., sub- or supernatural, it’s not relevant in a court of law. I thought that was the case in the USA as well.

Interesting, thanks.
Ultra Vires — “beyond man” — crimes by angels, for example.
But presumably a lesser class of crimes than “Acts of God”.
God is of course Ultra Vires in a logical sense, but we are speaking here of law and theology, not logic.
