allocatur

Read a random definition: upside

A quick definition of allocatur:

Allocatur: A fancy word that means "it is allowed." It used to be used to show that a legal document was approved, and in Pennsylvania, it still means that someone is allowed to appeal. Sometimes, it is needed to allow a certain type of legal document to be used.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Allocatur (al-uh-kay-tur) is a Law Latin term that means "it is allowed." It was previously used to indicate that a writ, bill, or other pleading was allowed. Today, it is still used in Pennsylvania to denote permission to appeal. It can also refer to an allowance of a writ that is legally required in certain cases.

Example 1: The court issued an allocatur, allowing the plaintiff to appeal the decision.

Example 2: In some cases, a special allocatur is required before a writ of error can be filed.

These examples illustrate how allocatur is used to indicate permission or allowance in legal proceedings. In the first example, the court granted permission to the plaintiff to appeal the decision. In the second example, a special allowance is required before a writ of error can be filed.
