Portia (court case)

Portia (court case) refers to a legal principle established in the 16th-century English case of *Portia v. Portia*. It emphasizes the idea that a person should not be allowed to benefit from their own wrongdoing or deception in legal proceedings. Essentially, a court will not enforce a contract if it's based on fraudulent or dishonest behavior. This principle aims to uphold fairness and integrity in legal and contractual relationships, ensuring that justice is not compromised by deceitful conduct.
