An act of the law does injury to no one.

Explanation

Where the law itself operates to produce a result, no party can claim to be injured by that operation — the law is presumed to work justice. (Duplicate maxim — see also 1.5.280, 7.4.6.)

Where this applies

• The law itself caused this result and I'm being told I was injured by it.
• An operation of law produced this outcome — nobody can claim injury from what the law does.
• The government says I was harmed but it was the law itself operating, not any wrongful act.
