Coûtume De Paris
Old French law, referred to in French as , was the law of the Kingdom of France until the French Revolution. In the north of France were the ''Pays de coutumes'' ('customary countries'), where customary laws were in force, while in the south were the ''Pays de droit écrit'' ('countries of written law'), where Roman law had been paramount. Roughly speaking, the line separating the two areas was the river Loire, from Geneva to the mouth of the Charente, although this was not a firm border between the two categories of law. As worded by George Mousourakis, "in both zones, the law in force also included elements derived from royal, feudal, and canonical sources." ''Pays de coutumes'' In the north existed a variety of customs "with a Frankish-Germanic character." The ''coutumes'' were asserted and enforced under feudalism during the Middle Ages and in the early modern period by the French kings and their vassals, especially in the lands of the Île-de-France, to the exclusion o ...

Auvergne
Auvergne (; ; or ) is a cultural region in central France. As of 2016 Auvergne is no longer an administrative division of France.

Non Liquet
In law, a ''non liquet'' (commonly known as " lacuna in the law") is any situation for which there is no applicable law. ''Non liquet'' translates into English from the Latin as "it is not clear". According to Cicero, the term was applied during the Roman Republic to a verdict of "not proven" if the guilt or innocence of the accused was "not clear". Strictly, a finding of ''non liquet'' could result in a decision that the matter will always remain non-justiciable, but a lacuna denotes within that concept a lacking and so that the matter should in future be governed by law. Loopholes are a subset of lacunae. A lacuna is any specific matter about which no law exists, but a body of public, judicial or academic opinion believes it should exist to address a particular issue (often described as "unregulated" or "wholly inadequately regulated" activities or areas). A loophole where properly defined, by contrast, denotes that a set of laws addressing a certain issue exists but can be ci ...
