The references do not support the text in my opinion. Nor is the translation into English idiomatic. The meaning seems rather to be that one must do justice, regardless f temporal considerations. An ironical meaning is asserted, but without support. DGG (talk) 22:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Where do you think doesen't the given reference “Reclams kleines Zitaten-Lexikon”, Author: Muriel Kasper, page 108, Reclam, ISBN 3-15-010478-5 support the “opinion”? Sorry, but it clearly does. Regards, —αἰτίας discussion 03:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I do not think it justifies the use of the term in an English language context in that meaning. I do not even think it justifies that this is the general German language context. In fact, I think it is either a misunderstanding or a deliberate use in an opposite meaning; given the high quality of German legal scholarship, I susppect the later.
