Maxims Of Jurisprudence (Most) Part 4 Of The California Civil Code

Ê 3510 When the reason for a rule ceases, so should the rule itself. Ê3511 Where the reason is the same, the rule should be the same. Ê3512 One must not change his purpose to the injury of another Ê3513 Anyone may waive the advantage of a law intended solely for his benefit. But a law established for a public reason cannot be contravened by a private agreement. Ê3514 One must so use his own rights as not to infringe upon the rights of another. Ê3515 He who consents to an act is not wronged by it. Ê3516 Acquiescence in error takes away the right of objecting. Ê3517 No one can take advantage of his own wrong. Ê3518 He who has fraudulently dispossessed himself of a thing may be treated as if he still had possession. Ê3519 He who can and does not forbid that which is done on his behalf, is deemed to have bidden it. Ê3520 No one should suffer by the act of another. Ê3521 He who takes the benefit must bear the burden. Ê3522 One who grants a thing is presumed to grant also whatever is essential to its use. Ê3523 For every wrong there is a remedy. Ê3524 Between those who are equally in the right, or equally in the wrong, the law does not interpose. Ê3525 Between rights otherwise equal, the earliest is preferred. Ê3526 No man is responsible for that which no man can control. Ê3527 The law helps the vigilant, before those who sleep on their rights. Ê3528 The law respects form less than substance. Ê3529 That which ought to have been done is to be regarded as done, in favor of him to whom, and against him from whom, performance is due. Ê3530 That which does not appear to exist is to be regarded as if it did not exist. Ê3531 The law never requires impossibilities. Ê3532 The law neither does nor requires idle acts. Ê3533 The law disregards trifles. Ê3534 Particular expressions qualify those which are general. Ê3535 Contemporaneous exposition is in general the best. Ê3536 The greater contains the less. Ê3537 Superfluity does not vitiate. Ê3538 That is certain which can be made certain. Ê3539 Time does not confirm a void act. Ê3540 The incident follows the principal, and not the principal the incident. Ê3541 An interpretation which gives effect is preferred to one which makes void. Ê3542 Interpretation must be reasonable. Ê3543 Where one of two innocent persons must suffer by the act of a third, he, by whose negligence it happened, must be the sufferer. Ê3545 Private transactions are fair and regular. Ê3546 Things happen according to the ordinary course of nature and the ordinary habits of life. Ê3547 A thing continues to exist as long as is usual with things of that nature. Ê3548 The law has been obeyed. ----- Brought to you by - The 'Lectric Law Library The Net's Finest Legal Resource For Legal Pros & Laypeople Alike. http://www.lectlaw.com
