legal terminology question??

[Uglygreen]

There is a principal of law that says that any activity is allowed unless it is specifically prohibited.

Anyone remember what legal principal is called?

Thanks, Brad

Uhhh ... Legal Principal ? ...

Comon, there is some latin phrase that describes this particular legal principal of common law. Someone out there reading this has to know what it's called?
