Term: EXECUTIONE JUDICII
Definition: Executione judicii is a legal term that refers to a written order given to a lower court judge to carry out a judgment or to provide a valid reason for delaying the execution of a judgment.
Simply put, it is a document that tells a judge to enforce a decision made in court or explain why they haven't done so yet.
Definition: Executione judicii is a Latin term that refers to a writ that is directed to a judge of an inferior court. The writ orders the judge to issue execution upon a judgment in that court or to provide a reasonable cause for the delay in execution.
For example, if a plaintiff wins a case in a lower court and the defendant fails to pay the damages awarded, the plaintiff can request an executione judicii. This writ will order the judge to enforce the judgment and collect the damages owed by the defendant.
Another example is when a judge delays the execution of a judgment without any reasonable cause. In such a case, the party who won the case can request an executione judicii to compel the judge to issue the execution.
These examples illustrate how executione judicii is used to enforce judgments and ensure that the losing party complies with the court's decision.
