Legal Definitions - erronice

Erronice describes an action, decision, or statement that was made incorrectly, due to a mistake, oversight, or misunderstanding.

• Imagine a court clerk who accidentally enters the wrong date for a hearing into the official court calendar. The clerk acted erronice because the incorrect date was recorded due to a clerical error, leading to potential confusion for the parties involved.

• Consider a situation where a city council votes on a new zoning ordinance, but their decision is based on outdated property assessment data. If a higher court later overturns their decision because it was founded on incorrect information, the council's initial vote could be described as having been made erronice, as it resulted from a factual mistake.

• A lawyer drafting a contract might inadvertently include a clause that contradicts the client's explicit instructions. This inclusion would be considered erronice because it was a mistake in drafting that did not accurately reflect the client's wishes or the agreed-upon terms.
