In fictione juris semper aequitas existit

In fictione juris semper aequitas existit
In a fiction of law, an equity always survives; that is, a fiction of law is always consistent with equity. "All fictions of law, we have been taught, were created to enable the court to do justice, and where to indulge a fiction is to cause injustice, its just limit has been found." Estate of Walker, 125 Cal 242, 57 P 991.
