An English Court cannot judge by the light of nature.
Most businesses require liberal dealing.
The rain, it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella: But chiefly on the just, because The unjust steals the just’s umbrella.
The Court must never forget, and will never forget, first of all, the rights of family life which are sacred.
It is a Reasonable presumption that a man who sleeps upon his rights has not got much right.
Courts do not exist for the sake of discipline, but for the sake of deciding matters in controversy.
