Law 42 : If a man has borrowed money to plant his fields and a storm has flooded his field or carried away the crop, . . . in that year he does not have to pay his creditor. This specific laws helps the farmers that lost their crops also money making since they earn money from the crops. Now, they do not nees to stress over returning that money.
