Script error: No such module "Lang". is Latin for public law. Public law regulated the relationships of the government to its citizens, including taxation, while Script error: No such module "Lang". (private law), based upon property and contract, concerned relations between individuals.[1] The public/private law dichotomy is a structural core of Roman law and all modern Western legal systems. Public law will only include some areas of private law close to the end of the Roman state.
Script error: No such module "Lang". was used also to describe obligatory legal regulations, such as Script error: No such module "Lang"., which is now a term used in public international law meaning basic rules which cannot (or should not) be broken, or contracted out of. Regulations that can be changed are called today Script error: No such module "Lang"., and they are used when parties share something and are not in opposition.
