decree taken pro confesso

Read a random definition: lis mota

A quick definition of decree taken pro confesso:

A decree is a decision made by a court. It can be a final judgment or any court order. For example, a divorce decree is a final decision that ends a marriage and settles property and child custody issues. A decree taken pro confesso is a decision made in favor of the plaintiff when the defendant fails to respond to the allegations in the plaintiff's case. It's like a default judgment in a regular court case. Overall, a decree is a legal decision that settles a dispute between parties.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A decree taken pro confesso is a court order entered in favor of the plaintiff when the defendant fails to respond to the allegations in the plaintiff's bill. It is a type of default judgment in equity practice.

Example: If a defendant in an equity suit fails to answer the plaintiff's petition within the prescribed time period, the bill will be taken pro confesso, and a decree entered in favor of the plaintiff. For instance, if a plaintiff files a lawsuit against a defendant for breach of contract and the defendant fails to respond to the allegations, the court may enter a decree taken pro confesso in favor of the plaintiff.

This example illustrates how a decree taken pro confesso is a court order entered in favor of the plaintiff when the defendant fails to respond to the allegations in the plaintiff's bill. It is a way for the plaintiff to obtain a judgment in their favor when the defendant does not participate in the legal proceedings.

If u want a good laugh, look up "fed reserve pow questions April 4/2025" They were the oddest questions I have ever heard. These two reporters were firing off the weirdest, out of pocket questions. Also, a funny slip up at the end.

They were baiting him to comment on politics, that didnt work, so they just made up BS questions. Love it.
But idk. Powell is dovish and doesn’t like to share things so it makes sense
