I.   Introductory Provisions

No law is valid, or has any authority or force or effect as a Fiduciary Law or any other equivalent description unless it conforms to the body of Canon Law preceding this Canon, also known as Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum in accordance with the most sacred covenant Pactum De Singularis Caelum.

Fiduciary Law is the body of statutes and ordinances of an ecclesiastical, sovereign, or political entity issued by proper authority in accordance with these canons for the moderation of positions held in trust under proper oath or vow also known as trustees, fiduciaries and officers. As valid Fiduciary Law is in accordance with these Canons, the word Canon is equivalent to describing valid Fiduciary Law.

Any law claiming to be Canon or related to trustees, fiduciaries or officers that is presently in force which is contrary to the prescript of these Canons is therefore reprobate, suppressed and not permitted to be revived.

As Fiduciary Law ultimately refers to rules created by men and women, not natural or divine, all valid Fiduciary Law may be said to be Positive Law and derived from Positive Law. Therefore, a Positive Law cannot abrogate, suspend, nor change a Natural Law or Cognitive Law. Nor is it possible for a Positive Law, Cognitive Law or Natural Law to abrogate, suspend or change a Divine Law.

A Fiduciary Law is established and takes force when it is promulgated in accordance with these Canons.

All Fiduciary Law may be defined by twelve (11) Chapters including: Concept, Office, Ministry, Officer, Mandate, Intent, Perfection, Ordinance, Execution, Audit and Remediation.

When anyone references, writes or speaks of Fiduciary Law it shall mean these canons and no other.
