Omnia praesumuntur rite et solenniter esse acta -
All things are presumed to be correctly and solemnly done.
This relates chiefly to acts of an official nature, as judgments, decrees, orders of court, and acts of any public officer, done by properly, or apparently properly, constituted authorities ; which acts will be presumed to be rightly done, and the authorities rightly constituted, until the contrary be proved. The maxim also applies to all cases of waiver by acquiescence, lapse of time, &c., where consent and agreement will be presumed ; and it is forcibly applied in settling ancient titles.
Case Reference - Hollingsworth v. White, 6 L. T. (N. S.) 604.
