Laws of the twelve tables
Laws of ancient Rome composed in part from those of Solon, and other Greek legislators, and in part from the unwritten laws or customs of the Romans. These laws first appeared in the year of Rome 303, inscribed on ten plates of brass. The following year two others were added, and the entire code bore the name of the Laws of the Twelve Tables. The principles they contained became the source of all the Roman law, and serve to this day as the foundation of the jurisprudence of the greatest part of Europe.
Laws of Wisbuy
Maritime law. A code of sea laws established by "the merchants and masters of the magnificent city of Wisbuy." This city was the ancient capital of Gothland, an island in the Baltic sea, anciently much celebrated for its commerce and wealth, now an obscure and inconsiderable place. Malyne, in his collection of sea laws, says that the laws of Oleron were translated into Dutch by the people of Wisbuy for the use of the Dutch coast. By Dutch probably means German, and it cannot be denied that many of the provisions contained in the Laws of Wisbuy, are precisely the same as those which are found in the Laws of Oleron. The northern writers pretend however that they are more ancient than the Laws of Oleron, or than even the Consolato del Mare. Clairac treats this notion with contempt, and declares that at the time of the promulgation of the laws of Oleron, in 1266, which was many years after they were compiled, the magnificent city of Wisbuy had not yet acquired the denomination of a town. Be this as it may, these laws were for some ages, and indeed still remain, in great authority in the northern part of Europe. "Lex Rhodia navalis," says Grotius, "pro jure gentium, in illo mare Mediteraneo vigebat; sicut apud Gallium leges Oleronis, et apud omnes transrhenanos, leges Wisbuenses."
Laws of wisby
An important collection of maritime laws based on the Lubeck codes, a Flemish copy of the judgments of Oleron and Dutch ordinances from Amsterdam, first published at Wisby (Visby), capital of Gotland in 1505 by Godfrey of Gemen.
Laws, rhodian
Maritime law. A code of laws adopted by the people of Rhodes, who had, by their commerce and naval victories, obtained the sovereignty of the sea, about nine hundred. years before the Christian era. There is reason to suppose this code has not been transmitted to posterity, at least not in a perfect state. A collection of marine constitutions, under the denomination of Rhodian Laws, may be seen in Vinnius, but they bear evident marks of a spurious origin.
Lay
1) English law. That which relates to persons or things not ecclesiastical. In the United States the people are not, by law, divided, as ecclesiastical. 2) Pleading. To state or to allege.
Lay corporation
Lay days
Maritime law. The time allowed to the master of a vessel for loading and unloading the same.
Lay people

Laycan
An abbreviation of "layday cancelling date" or "laydays cancelling". A term used in a voyage charterparty, (supra) referring to the period of time between the commencement of laytime (infra) (being the beginning of the "lay days" when the charterer must commence loading the cargo), and the cancelling date (being the date after which the charterer may repudiate the charterparty if the ship has not then arrived at the specified port or place of loading). This period, also called the "laycan spread", is typically expressed as two dates, for example "laycan 25 March/2 April", meaning that the charterer may not be obliged to commence loading earlier than 25 March even if the ship has arrived at the specified port or place of loading by that date, and that he may cancel the charterparty if the ship has not arrived there by 2 April.
Layman
Ecclesiastical law. One who is not an ecclesiastic nor a clergyman.
Laytime
In a voyage charterparty, the period of time (the "lay days") agreed between the parties during which the shipowner will make and keep the vessel available to the voyage charterer for loading or discharging without payment additional to the freight (supra).
