You have no right, for the purpose of justifying a libel, to inquire into a man's life and opinions. - Sir Frederick Pollock, 1st Baronet

International law, like the moral law, is part of the law of England, but only to the extent that the Courts will not help those that break it.

In criminal cases you always begin by proving the corpus delicti, and then connect the prisoner with it.

The rule is this: that wherever there is a decision of a Court of concurrent jurisdiction, the other Courts will adopt that as the basis of their decision, provided it can be appealed from. If it cannot be appealed from, then they will exercise their own judgment.
