Ius commune dicitur favorabile, ut pote ab omnibus ob publicam utilitatem receptam. Hinc odiosa censentur, quae juri communi contariantur, uti privilegia, dispensationes, statuta singularia . . . Omnis dispositio in dubio recipit interpretationem a jure communi (Ius commune is said to be  preferred as received according to the public good by everyone; those thing are considered hateful which are contrary to the Ius commune, such as privileges, dispensations, private laws; every act that is doubtful must be interpreted according to the Ius commune) Boniface VIII, Liber sextus, De regulis iuris 28: "Quae a iure commune exorbitant, nequaquam ad consequentiam sunt trahenda."(Those things that deviate from common legal norms and rights must never be taken as precedent)
