The law suffers nothing contrary to truth.

Explanation

No fiction, no presumption, and no procedural rule may be carried so far as to contradict established truth; where truth is known, it must prevail.

Where this applies

• A legal fiction or procedural rule is being used to deny what's obviously true.
• The court is letting a technicality override the actual facts.
• No rule or presumption should be carried so far that it contradicts the truth.
