demonstratio

Read a random definition: diaconate

A quick definition of demonstratio:

Demonstratio is a Latin word that means "to show." In Roman law, it refers to a written document called a formula that was used in legal proceedings. The formula had three parts: the demonstratio, which described the facts of the claim; the intentio, which specified the relief sought against the defendant; and the condemnatio, which was the judgment given by the judex. The formula was prepared by a praetor and adapted to the circumstances of the case. In common-law pleading, demonstratio refers to a set form of words used in judicial proceedings.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Demonstratio is a Latin term that means "to show." In Roman law, it refers to:

  1. A description, such as a false description of something or someone in a will.
  2. The statement of facts in a formula, which forms the basis of a claim under the formulary procedure.

For example, in Roman law, a plaintiff would use a formula to bring a claim against a defendant. The formula would include a demonstratio, which is a statement of the facts of the claim. This would help the judex (judge) understand the case and make a decision.

In common-law pleading, a demonstratio refers to a set form of words used in judicial proceedings, such as those appearing in writs.

For example, in a lawsuit, a plaintiff might use a writ that includes a demonstratio to describe the nature of their claim. This would help the court understand the plaintiff's case and determine whether to proceed with the lawsuit.
