GENUS NUNQUAM PERIT

genus nunquam perit (jee-n<<schwa>>s n<<schwa>>n[g]-kwam per-it). [Latin] Hist. The

class never perishes. • The phrase appeared in reference to a quantity of contracted-for goods of a

certain class (rather than a single item), the destruction of which did not discharge the seller’s

obligation. [Blacks Law 8^th]
