criminal cases and to conduct preliminary examinations
of persons charged with serious crimes.

without having been a witness to any occurrence relating
to the lawsuit or criminal case
23. false friends – LAW / ACT
• 1. Act is a legal document (in written form) passed by a
legislator to regulate certain area of social behaviour. It is
one of the sources of law.
The word statute is often use to refer to act as well.
2. Law is generally a system of rules of behaviour
covering all sources of law (including acts).
24. false friends – CONSIDERATION
• Something of value given by both parties to a contract
that induces them to enter into the agreement to
exchange mutual performances.
• Consideration is an essential element for the formation
of a contract. It may consist of a promise to perform a
desired act or a promise to refrain from doing an act that
one is legally entitled to do.
25. false friends – ASSIGNMENT
• An assignment (Latin cessio) is a term used with similar
meanings in the law of contracts and in the law of real

rights held by one party—the assignor—to another
party—the assignee.[1] The details of the assignment
determines some additional rights and liabilities (or

revolving the world of the legal
English. Here there are some
examples…

• The proverb could be used to justify the behaviour of a
man who steals food to keep his wife and family from
starving. As Cervantes wrote in Don Quixote: ‘Necessity
urges desperate measures”
28. POSSESION IS NINE POINTS OF THE
LAW
• We use this to mean that even though full legal right to a
thing has not been established, he who is in possession
of it has a far greater right to it than has everybody else.
