Mandant

|
MandantThe principal in the contract of mandate is so called.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Principal
1) This word has several meanings. It is used in opposition to accessary, to show the degree of crime committed by two persons; thus, we say, the principal is more guilty than the accessary after the fact. 2) Contracts. One who, being competent to contract, and who is sui juris, employs another to do any act for his own benefit, or on his own account. 3) Criminal law. A principal is one who is the actor in the commission of a crime.
Contract
A negotiated oral or written agreement setting forth the terms for an exchange of value between parties (which may be individuals or companies) and under which each party promises to perform an obligation. Certain terms, such as the obligations to be performed and the terms for setting price or compensation must be mutually understood, known in legal lingo as a "meeting of the minds," and promised to by the parties to form a legal contract.
Mandate
1) Mandatum or commission, contracts. Sir William Jones defines a mandate to be a bailment of goods without reward, to be carried from place to place, or to have some act performed about them. This seems more properly an enumeration of the various sorts of mandates than a definition of the contract. According to Mr. Justice Story, it is a bailment of personal property, in regard to which the bailee engages to do some act without reward. 2) Practice. A judicial command or precept issued by a court or magi- trate, directing the proper officer to enforce a judgment, sentence or decree.

Mandator

Mandatory rules
In the conflict of laws, mandatory rules are compulsorily applicable rules of law, found in applicable international conventions or national statutes, which cannot be contracted out of. In some cases, they may also be rules, which apply regardless of the law otherwise applicable under the forum's rules of private international law. Mandatory rules frequently give effect to social and economic policies deemed by the country concerned to be of overriding importance, particularly in fields such as consumer protection, employment, monetary and fiscal policy. In maritime law, the Hague/Visby (supra) and Hamburg Rules (supra) on the carriage of goods by sea, and various national statutes making those rules compulsorily applicable, are examples of mandatory rules.
Mandavi ballivo

Mancipatio
Civil law. The act of transferring things called res mancipi. This is effected in the presence of not less than five witnesses, who must be Roman citizens and of the age of puberty, and also in the presence of another person of the same condition, who holds a pair of brazen scales, and hence is called Libripens. The purchaser (qui mancipio accipit) taking hold of the thing, says I affirm that this slave (homo) is mine, ex jure quiritium, and he is purchased by me with this piece of money (sas) and brazen scales. He then strikes the scales with the piece of money and gives it to the seller as a symbol of the price (quasi pretii loco.) The purchaser or person to whom the mancipatio was made did not acquire the possession of the mancipatio; for the acquisition of possession was a separate act.
