We therefore say that the maxim is a legal fiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Fictions (Law) $z England. 650 7 $a Fictions (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923777 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shmilovits, Liron, 1987- $t Legal fictions in private law $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781009023788 $w (DLC) 2021024854 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=141FCE86BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
