See link : The 10 foundational maxims of law in commerce
The 10 foundational maxims of commerce, from which all codes, law, and statutes are derived and based upon are in summary:
- A workman is worthy of his hire.
- All are equal under the law (both moral and natural law).
- In commerce truth is sovereign.
- Truth is expressed by means of an affidavit.
- An unrebutted affidavit stands as the truth in commerce.
- An unrebutted affidavit becomes the judgment in commerce.
- A matter must be expressed to be resolved.
- He who leaves the field of battle first loses by default.
- Sacrifice is the measure of credibility (if one has neither been damaged nor incurred a risk, and is unwilling to swear an affidavit- he has no credibility.)
- Alien or claim can be satisfied only through rebuttal by counter affidavit point-for point resolution by jury, or payment.
