Latin Legal Phrases, Terms and Maxims as Applied by the Malaysian Courts

About the Book

This book, though not intended as a supplement, is a small scale updated version to the earlier work viz., ‘Words, Phrases & Maxims - Legally & Judicially Defined’ , a 20 volume work compiled by Dr. Anandan. The Current work is, however, handier and could easily be carried and made reference to by the law lecturers and the students alike. It comprises most up-to-date and important Latin legal maxims and phrases as used by the Malaysian Courts.
