So, these are a few words and phrases we learnt in law. I am going to use the help of google translate and (what i wrote in my notes). So here goes:
- quantum meruit - he deserved (as much as he earned)
- de minisis - of ministers (not 100% complete)
- res ipsa loquitor - the thing itself speak (the event speak for itself)
- ab initio - from the beginning
- restitutio in integrum - reinstatement (original position before the contract)
- status quo ante - state before (position he was before hand)
- non est factum - it was not done (it is not my deed)
- bona fide - in good faith
- stare decisis - the decided (to stand by decisions)
- *obiter dicta - death of the said (not binding but may be persuasive)
- *obiter dictum - death of the said (a saying by the way)
- ratio decidendi - reason for the decision
- nemo dat principle - no one gives the first (what he does not have he cannot give away)
- prima facie - at first sight
- novus actus interveniens - new act of intercession (new intervening act)
*obiter - in passing/by the way/incidentally
dicta - the
dictum - said/saying/something said/speech
so, obiter dictum is a saying by the way, don't really get the google meaning of death.
Oh, i also learn that assault is not physical. So as long someone threaten you with a knife, you can say he assault you even though he doesn't attack you with it. Or maybe threaten by mouth/words.
Battery on the other hand is physical. I thought battery is batteries. Apparently it means the act of beating or pounding.
