A breach of contract that is so fundamental that it permits the injured party to terminate the performance of the contract, in addition to entitling that party to sue for damages. القاموس القانوني

Res ipsa loquitur
Latin phrase meaning ‘the facts speak for themselves’. It is a doctrine that infers negligence from the very nature of an accident or other outcomes, even without any direct evidence as to how the defendant behaved. Usually, in accident cases, it is necessary to prove the elements of negligence, namely, the duty of care, breach of that duty, causation and injury. Where res ipsa loquitur applies, the duty of care, breach and causation are inferred. القاموس القانوني

Rule against perpetuities
The principle that no interest is valid unless it vests in a person not later than twenty one years (plus any period of gestation for an unborn child) after the life of the person that existed at the time of the creation of the interest. The rule was introduced to restrict a person’s power to control perpetually the ownership and possession of his or her property after death and to ensure transferability of property. القاموس القانوني

Rule of law
Is the legal principle that law should govern a nation, as opposed to being govern by arbitrary decisions of individual government officials, in contrast to an autocracy or dictatorship where the rulers are held above the law. It primarily refers to the influence and authority of the law within society, particularly as a constraint upon behaviour, including the behaviour of government officials. القاموس القانوني

Severability
Used to describe the ability of a provision to be separated completely from the main part of the contract, statute or other legal document but still leave the rest of the document legally valid. Sometimes, severability clauses will state that some provisions to the contract are so essential to the contract’s purpose that if they are illegal or unenforceable, the contract as a whole will be voided. القاموس القانوني

Show cause order
A court order that requires one or more of the parties to a case to justify, explain or prove something to the court. Court’s commonly use orders to show cause when the judge needs more information before deciding whether or not to issue an order requested by one of the parties. For example, if a party requests that the court find another party in contempt of court of an existing order, the judge will typically issue an ‘Order to Show Cause Re Contempt’ to the party accused of being in contempt of court. At the hearing of the order to show cause concerning contempt the judge will take evidence from both sides concerning the alleged failure to comply with the court order before making a decision on the merits of the issue. القاموس القانوني
