The Seventh Commandment: You shall not steal.

What is meant by commutative justice?
Commutative justice regulates exchanges between persons in accordance with a strict respect for their rights. It makes sure that property rights are safeguarded, debts repaid, and freely contracted obligations are fulfilled, that reparation is made for injustice or damage, and that stolen goods are returned. (YOUCAT question 430)
