fall like dominoes. To fall sequentially, as when one
object in a line, by falling against the next object,
causes it in turn to fall, and that second object causes a
third to fall, etc.; the process can be repeated an
indefinite number of times.
Note: The phrase is derived from an entertainment using
dominoes arranged in a row, each standing on edge and
therefore easily knocked over; when the first is made
to fall against the next, it starts a sequence which
ends when all have fallen. For amusement, people have
arranged such sequences involving thousands of
dominoes, arrayed in fanciful patterns. |

AFFIDATIO DOMINORUM
(bouvier) | AFFIDATIO DOMINORUM, Eng. law. An oath taken by a lord in parliament.
|
INVITO DOMINO
(bouvier) | INVITO DOMINO, crim. law. Without the consent of the owner.
2. In order to constitute larceny, the property stolen must be taken
invito domino; this is the very essence of the crime. Cases of considerable
difficulty arise when the owner has, for the purpose of detecting thieves,
by himself or his agents, delivered the property taken, as to whether they
are larcenies or not; the distinction seems to be this, that when the owner
procures the property to be taken it is not larceny; and when he merely
leaves it in the power of the defendant to execute his original purpose of
taking it, in the latter case it will be considered as taken invito domino.

RES PERIT DOMINO
(bouvier) | RES PERIT DOMINO. The thing is lost to the owner. This phrase is used to
express that when a thing is lost or destroyed, it is lost to the person who
was the owner of it at the time. For example, an article is sold; if the
seller have perfected the title of the buyer so that it is his, and it be
destroyed, it is the buyer's loss; but if, on the contrary, something
remains to be done before the title becomes vested in the buyer, then the
loss falls on the seller. See Risk.
