What is the Germaine Rule?

Answer 1

That no person in the court is allowed to take a bathroom break. It is only applied to the most serious cases.

Answer 2

There isn't a widely known rule or principle called the Germaine Rule. It is possible that you may be referring to the "Germain Rule", which is a principle of statutory interpretation used in legal cases. This rule states that when multiple statutes or laws are potentially applicable to a situation, the more specific statute should be applied over the more general one. However, without more context it is difficult to provide a more precise answer.
