Aftermath

After a war, there is always the aftermath.

Battle wounds and psychological scar.

Well, the same goes for after an ACCA paper.

Thankfully no battle wounds.

What I cannot forget until now is some Latin terms I learned in F4 "Law paper"

Here it goes :-

ratio decidendi - reason behind the decision of law

obiter dicta - statement made by judges

mala fide - acting in bad purpose

res ipsa loquitar - take the facts of the case as they are.

Principle of nemo dat quad non habet - only the original owner can pass a good title

volunti non fit injuria - cannot sue if you yourself have consented to the act.

contra proferentem rule - to protect defandant from exemption clause

bona fide - good faith

habeas courpus - protection from unlawful detention

I just cannot forget this stuff.

I think maybe it is kinda cool in a weird kind of way !
