- Licet cepit non asportavit
- Although he took, he did not carry away. Licet dispositio de interesse futuro sit inutilis, tamen potest fieri declaratio praecedens quae sortiatur effectum interveniente novo actu. Although the disposition of a future interest is ineffectual, yet a declaration precedent can be made which will take effect upon the intervention of a new act.
