magis de bono quam de malo lex intendit

magis de bono quam de malo lex intendit
/meyjas diy bownow kwaem diy maelow leks antendat/ The law favors a good rather than a bad construction. Where the words used in an agreement are susceptible of two meanings, the one agreeable to, the other against, the law, the former is adopted. Thus, a bond conditioned "to assign all offices" will be construed to apply to such offices only as are assignable
