Term: curia advisari vult
Definition: When a court says "curia advisari vult," it means they need more time to think before making a decision. This phrase is still used in England when a Court of Appeal decision is not given right after a hearing. It's like saying "we need to think about this more before we decide."
Abbreviation: cur. adv. vult; c.a.v.
Curia advisari vult
When a court says "curia advisari vult," it means that the court needs more time to think before making a decision. This phrase is used when a court wants to delay its judgment until it has more information or has had more time to consider the case.
Example 1: During a trial, the judge might say "curia advisari vult" if they need more time to think about the evidence before making a decision.
Example 2: In England, the Court of Appeal uses this phrase in all cases where the judgment is reserved, meaning that the decision is not made immediately after the hearing.
Both examples illustrate how "curia advisari vult" is used to indicate that a court needs more time to consider a case before making a decision.
