Legal Language and Drafting [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
The maxim 'Actus curiae neminem gravabit' means:-
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Actus curiae neminem gravabit means an act of the Court shall prejudice no man.
The maxim requires a court to undo any harm a party suffers because of the court's own act or delay, for example by restoring a party to the position he would have been in had the court not erred. Indian courts apply it often, for instance when relief is delayed by pending proceedings.
'An act in law shall prejudice no man' is actus legis nemini est damnosus, and 'the act of God does wrong to no one' is actus Dei nemini facit injuriam. 'An act does not constitute guilt unless done with a guilty intention' translates actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea.

Correct Answer : D
Neither conclusion follows. The statements define legal language and say that it contains unusual features related to terminology, structure, conventions and punctuation.
Conclusion I is about the history of legal English and its connection to Great Britain and the common law, and Conclusion II is about the Latin origin of the term ab initio. Neither is stated or implied by the statements, so the keyed option is that neither follows.
