Text b Legal Latin
Lawyers use Latin words and expressions when writing legal texts of every kind, from statutes to emails.
The following excerpt is from the Legal document known as an “answer”. It was submitted to the court by the defendant from the previous Listening exercise.
1) Underline the common Latin words and phrases in the text. Do you know what they mean?
The claim for breach of contract fails inter alia to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, is uncertain as to what contract plaintiffs are suing on, and is uncertain in that it cannot be determined whether the contract sued on is written, oral or implied by conduct.
The complaint alleges breach of contract as follows: ‘At all times herein mentioned, plaintiffs were a part [sic] to the Construction Contract, as well as intended beneficiaries to each subcontract for the construction of the house. In light of the facts set out above, defendants, and each of them, have breached the Construction Contract’.
On its face, the claim alleges only that defendants ‘breached the Construction Contract’. But LongCo is not a party to the Construction Contract. Therefore LongCo cannot be liable for its breach.
2) Match each Latin word or expression (1—8) with its English equivalent and the explanation of its use (a—h).
1 ad hoc
2 et alil (et al.)
3 et cetera (etc.)
4 exempli gratia (e.g.) 5 id est (i.e.)
6 per se
7 sic
8 versus (vs. or v.) |
a thus (used after a word to indicate the original, usually incorrect, spelling or grammar in a text) b for example (used before one or more examples are given) c for this purpose (often used as an adjective before a noun) d against (versus is abbreviated to ‘v.’ in case citations, but to ‘vs.’ in all other instances) e and others (usually used to shorten a list of people, often a list of authors, appellants or defendants) f and other things of the same kind (used to shorten a list of similar items) g by itself (often used after a noun to indicate the thing itself) h that is (used to signal an explanation or paraphrase of a word preceding it) |
3) Match each Latin term (1-10) with its English equivalent (a-j).
