The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

BENEFIT OF DISCUSSION: Civil law. A guarantor's right to require a creditor to seek payment from the principal debtor before seeking payment from the guarantor. Also termed (in French law) benefice de discussion; (in Scots law) right of discussion. [Cases: Guaranty ~ 42(1),45,77(2).] "Benefit of Discussion. By common law a cautioner, bound simply as such, had right to insist that the creditor should discuss the prinCipal debtor, that is, exhaust his estate by diligence, before coming upon him for payment of the debt." William K. Morton & Dale A. Whitman, Manual of the Law of Scotland 299 (1896).
