Latin Law?
In a letter I was reading I came across this statement (if this is what you wish to call it)
Verbis Standum Ubi Nulla Ambiguitas
I don't understand what it means anyone who might know please help. Thank you all for your time.
Answers:
"One must abide by the words, where there is no ambiguity."
Basically, if the text of the law is clear -- the law must be followed by its literal text.
If the law is unclear, you can argue semantics and gray areas and interpretations.
one must abide by the words when there is no ambiguity
The above are the accepted legal definition of the statement. The actual translation is:
Words are to stand firm when (there is) no ambiguity.
Latin often left forms of the verb 'to be' out - its use was understood.
