The expression of things that are tacitly implied avails nothing.

Explanation

Stating explicitly what the law would already imply adds nothing; the express mention of what was already present by implication neither enlarges nor diminishes the right.

Where this applies

• The contract states something that the law would have implied anyway — does that change anything.
• Explicitly mentioning what was already implied neither adds nor takes away rights.
• Spelling out what the law already provides doesn't create a new obligation.
