It can be conditionally called the principle of "turning responsibility back on the best one". It can still be found in ethnographic materials and can be described as an outcome of centuries-lasting empiric observation of people or be regarded as a superstition, widespread solely in the past and still maintained in a certain way only because of momentum, deprived of any real background. In one way or another, one thing is apparent: in certain cases the old Georgian legal philosophy was guided by this very principle.enTurning responsibility back on the best oneHabitual LawPhilosophy of LawHistory of LawOld Georgian LawArticle
