ACT IN PAIS

A thing adjudged

The legal maxim is of latin origin meaning a matter or thing that has already been judicially decided on the basis of its merits and the same matter cannot be litigated between the two parties again. The maxim is of the belief that for one particular claim between litigants, one judicial contest is enough and reexamination of the same matter is not in the interest of the society. With the rapidly increasing pressure on the judiciary with rising judicial work, attending to a particular matter to one single contest is a reasonable restriction adopted.

Happy is who was able to know the cause of things

An incidental remark or opinion by a judge that is not binding.

The legal maxim is of latin origin meaning “said in passing” or an “incidental statement”. The maxim roughly translates to “by the way” and it refers to a statement a person said in passing. While talking in legal terms this maxim refers to a persuasive statement only and it is an unnecessary passage in a judicial opinion. Such statements are not supported by the force of precedent but may be significant to the case.
