A quick definition of finis:

Term: FINIS

Definition: Finis means a boundary or limit. It can also refer to a compromise of a fine of conveyance or a payment of money made to satisfy a claim of criminal penalty. In Roman law, finis regundorum actio is an action for settling a boundary dispute. In simpler terms, finis is a way to mark the end of something or to settle a disagreement about where something ends.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Finis (fI-nis or fin-is) is a Latin term that means boundary or limit. It can also refer to the compromise of a fine of conveyance or a fine paid to satisfy a claim of criminal penalty.

  • When two parties in a legal dispute come to an agreement, they can apply to the court to compromise the action. This agreement is called a finis, and it is recorded in the court records.
  • If someone commits a crime and is fined as a penalty, they must pay the finis to satisfy the claim.

These examples illustrate how finis can refer to both a legal agreement and a payment of money. In both cases, it represents a boundary or limit that is set to resolve a dispute or satisfy a claim.
