Ont of fraud; ont of deceitful or tortious conduct. A phrase applied to obligalions and causes of action vitiated by fraud or deceit.
Ex dolo malo non oritur actio
Out of fraud no action arises; fraud never gives aright of action. No court will lend its aid to aman who founds his cause of action upon Ex donationibus autem feoda militaria vel Magnum serjeantium non continentibus oritur nobis quoddam nomen generale, quod est socagium.
Co. Litt. 86.
