A quick definition of de bene esse:

Term: DE BENE ESSE

Definition: De bene esse means "of well-being" in Law Latin. It is used to describe something that is conditionally allowed for the present, but may be needed in the future. For example, a deposition may be taken de bene esse if there is a chance the witness may not be available for trial. It is often abbreviated as d.b.e.

A more thorough explanation:

De bene esse is a Latin term used in law that means "of well-being." It is used to describe something that is conditionally allowed for the present, but in anticipation of a future need.

One example of de bene esse is when a deposition is taken before trial. This means that the testimony is being recorded in case it is needed later on, but it is not being used as evidence at the present time.

Another example could be a temporary injunction that is granted to prevent harm until a full hearing can take place.

These examples illustrate the concept of de bene esse because they both involve taking action in anticipation of a future need. In both cases, the action is being taken to protect the well-being of someone or something until a more permanent solution can be found.
