general verdict subject to a special case

Read a random definition: ad vindictam publicam

A quick definition of general verdict subject to a special case:

A verdict is a decision made by a jury or judge in a court case. It can be a general verdict, where the jury decides in favor of one party or the other, or a special verdict, where the jury only decides on specific factual issues and the judge decides the legal effect. A general verdict subject to a special case is an old-fashioned type of verdict where the court decides a legal question separately from the jury's general verdict, based on a written statement of all the facts in the case.

A more thorough explanation:

A general verdict subject to a special case is a type of verdict in which the court renders a decision without considering the jury's general verdict. This happens when a party does not want to put the legal question on the record but only wants the court to decide based on a written statement of all the facts in the case, prepared for the opinion of the court by counsel on either side, according to the principles of a special verdict. The court then decides the special case submitted and gives judgment accordingly.

For example, in a case where a jury finds a defendant guilty of a crime, but there is a legal question about the admissibility of evidence, the defendant may request a general verdict subject to a special case. The court would then decide the legal question and give judgment accordingly, without considering the jury's guilty verdict.
