Maxim 1.5.111

Judgments frequently mature by deliberation, never by hurried process.

Judicia in deliberationibus crebro maturescunt, in accelerato processu nunquam.

Source: 3 Inst. 210; Jackson Difficulty 3/5 — Intermediate

Explanation

Sound judicial decision-making requires careful deliberation — hasty proceedings produce unreliable results and risk injustice.

Where this applies

  • A judge rushes through a case without proper deliberation.
  • A hearing is conducted so quickly that the parties do not get a fair chance to present evidence.
