fiat justitia

fiat justitia (fI-at j[schwa]s-tish-ee-[schwa]). [Latin] Hist. Let justice be done. • This phrase signaled the Crown’s commission to the House of Lords to hear an appeal.

“Fiat Justitia, ruat coelum, says another maxim, as full of extravagance as it is of harmony: Go heaven to wreck — so justice be but done: — and what is the ruin of kingdoms, in comparison of the wreck of heaven?” Jeremy Bentham, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation 13–14 n.1 (1823).
