The House of Lords decided the same point for English law in 1993. Tim Send a noteboard - 07/06/2010 09:47:54 PM
Unfortunately they came to (what I think is) a bad decision.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.
R v Brown [1993] 2 All ER 75
