Favorabiliores rei potius quam actores habentur

Favorabiliores rei potius quam actores habentur
Defendants are favored rather than plaintiffs. Both parties are the objects of the law's equal protection, but to make the protection equal, a certain position is assigned to the defendant; he is so placed that he may not be overcome by surprise. Hunt v Rousmanier's Administrators (US) 8 Wheat 174, 195, 5 L Ed 589, 594.
