Legal Definitions - erronice

Erronice is a legal term originating from Law Latin.

It functions as an adverb, indicating that something was done erroneously or occurred due to an error or mistake.

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• Consider a situation where a city council votes on a new zoning ordinance, but their decision is based on outdated property assessment data.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.
