The correct citations are California Civil
Code ("CCC"), sections 22.2, 1427, 1428,
and 1708, as of March 26, 1994, when we cited
these in a federal case, which was quitely
dismissed. The common law is the rule of
decision; an obligation arises either from
the operation of law, or from the contract
of the parties, and nothing else; the only
obligation which arises from the operation of
law is to abstain from injuring the person or
property of another, or infringing upon any of
his rights.
Here is CCC 1708, to wit:
"1708. Every person is bound, without contract,
to abstain from injuring the person of another,
or infringing upon any of his rights." [sic]
This is a very good restatement of the common
law, which is the rule of decision in
California, pursuant to CCC 22.2, to wit:
"22.2. The common law of England, so far as it
is not repugnant to or inconsistent with the
Constitution of the United States, or the
Constitution or laws of this State, is the
rule of decision in all the courts of this State."
Here is the definition of "obligation", to wit:
"1427. An obligation is a legal duty, by which
a person is bound to do or not to do a certain
thing."
And right after that is source of obligation, to wit:
"1428. An obligation arises either from:
One -- The contract of the parties; or,
Two -- The operation of law."
That's it! So, the ONLY obligation which
arises from the operation of law is to
abstain from injuring the person of another,
or infringing upon any of his rights, pursuant
to CCC 1708. This is just as I had said, in an
earlier message, Nick's Nonsense Notwithstanding
("NNN").

All such state laws can be "imported" into
any federal court, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1652:
State laws as rules of decision, which is exactly
what we did. Here is our key paragraph from that
winning brief:
5. By importing the California Civil Code, see 28 U.S.C.
1652, this Court must recognize the Common Law as the rule of
decision, see CCC 22.2, and acknowledge that an obligation arises
either from the operation of law, or from the contract of the
parties, and nothing else, see CCC 1427, 1428. The only
obligation that arises from the operation of law is to abstain
from injuring the person or property of another, or infringing
upon any of his rights, see CCC 1708. Petitioners have failed to
identify any damage or injury and thus have failed to state any
claim upon which relief can be granted. Consent is one of the
elements that is essential to a valid contract, see CCC 1550.
Apparent consent is neither real nor free when obtained by
duress, menace, fraud, undue influence, or mistake, see CCC 1567.
Respondent denies the existence of any valid contract with
Petitioners, either express or implied in fact (i.e. assumpsit),
and denies voluntary participation in the government scheme known
as "public policy", see The Federal Zone, Appendix I: "Notice to
50 Governors"; Erie R.R. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938). The
printed second edition of The Federal Zone is incorporated by
reference as if set forth fully herein, see Exhibit "A".
