A quick definition of unus nullus rule:

The unus nullus rule is a legal principle that says the testimony of only one witness is not enough to prove something. This means that if only one person says something happened, it may not be considered true in court. It's like when you play a game and someone says they saw something happen, but no one else did, so you're not sure if it really happened or not. In civil law, if someone fails to fulfill a duty to another person, they may not be entitled to inherit from them, which is called being unworthy.

A more thorough explanation:

The unus nullus rule is a legal principle in civil law that states the testimony of only one witness is not considered reliable evidence. The term comes from the Latin phrase "one is nobody" and is also known as the "one witness rule."

For example, in a court case, if only one witness testifies about an event, their testimony may not be enough to prove the case. The court may require additional evidence or testimony from other witnesses to corroborate the story.

Another example is in the case of an unvalued insurance policy. An unvalued policy is one where the value of the insured item is not determined until a loss occurs. If only one witness testifies about the value of the item, their testimony may not be enough to determine the value of the loss.

The unus nullus rule is in place to ensure that evidence presented in court is reliable and accurate. It prevents false or misleading testimony from being used to make important legal decisions.
