Legal Maxims in Law & Equity.pdf
7.1 MB
This book is a compilation in one work, of all known ‘Maxims’ of ‘Law & Commerce’ and their accompanying Latin phrases…

‘Maxims’ should always be written in lower case, no italics, to be grammatically correct.

The type and choice of ‘font’ when writing ✍🏼 a ‘Notice’ is optional.

However the font ‘Helvetica Neue’ with 1.2 line spacing, is an excellent choice and a good place to start, making your ‘Notice’ stand out and be 💎 crystal clear…

‘Maxims’ are usually written in ‘Latin’ which as most will know is Roman in origin…

Therefore the choice of the font ‘Times New Roman’ is a good choice to write the ‘Maxim’s ONLY….

‘Times New Roman’ will appear a tad smaller, than ‘Helvetica Neue’; however it makes them more noticeable on the page.

The ‘Maxim’ in Latin should proceed the written English equivalent translation when writing ✍🏼 a ‘Notice’…

In addition by adding bold style to the first letter of the Maxim and encompassed in “quotation marks“ makes it stand out on the page… and draws the readers eye to the ‘Maxim’.

Here are some examples:

“actor qui contra regulam quid aduxit, non estaudiendus” ~ “No man can make a claim in the name of another”.

“actio ficta nomine ficti, est contumacia curiae” ~ “A claim made in the name of a fictitious plaintiff, is a contempt of court”.

“admiralitas jurisuitionem non habet super iis qu communi lege dirimuntur.” ~ “A Court of Admiralty has no jurisdiction over those things which are determined by common law”

“Corporations being legal fictions, do not work loss or injury to any man; it is man, often in the name of a legal fiction, who works loss or injury to man”.
