ALLEGATIO CONTRA FACTUM NON EST ADMITTENDA

Where there is a right there is a remedy.

The legal maxim is of latin origin meaning there’s always a remedy available where there is a remedy. In literal meaning it means that in cases where a person has a right and that right has been infringed, that person can seek remedy for the violation of that right. It also means that there exists no wrong without a remedy. Here, the word ‘Jus’ means legal authority to mean or to do something and ‘remedium’ means right of action in a Court.

A delegate cannot further delegate.

This Latin maxim means that a person to whom a power is delegated cannot further delegate that power. That person cannot sub-delegate that power to someone else. No sub-delegation can be done in a contract of principle-agent without the knowledge and consent of the principle. This principle is often used in administrative or constitutional law.

outward acts show the internal secrets.

This Latin maxim means that the outward acts show the internal secrets. In simpler words it means that the outward acts indicate the thoughts, which are hidden within. The law, in some cases, judges a man’s previous intentions by his subsequent acts. On this principle, if a man abuse and authority given to him by the law, he becomes a trespasser ab initio.
