Legal Definitions - illicenciatus

Illlicenciatus

This Latin term refers to the state of being or acting without a required official permission, authorization, or certification, commonly known as a license.

Here are some examples to illustrate this concept:

• Example 1: Operating a Vehicle

  Imagine a person who drives a commercial truck across state lines to deliver goods, but they have never obtained a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) as required by federal and state regulations for such vehicles.

  In this situation, the individual is operating the commercial truck illicenciatus because they are performing a regulated activity (commercial driving) without the legally mandated authorization (the CDL).

• Example 2: Practicing a Regulated Profession

  Consider an individual who sets up a dental practice, advertises their services, and begins treating patients, despite never having attended dental school, passed the state board examinations, or received a license to practice dentistry.

  This person is practicing dentistry illicenciatus because they lack the official license from the state's regulatory board that is legally required to provide dental care.

• Example 3: Conducting a Regulated Business

  Suppose a homeowner decides to install a new electrical system in their house and offers to do the same for their neighbors for a fee, without having obtained the necessary electrician's license or pulling the required permits from the local building department.

  Here, the homeowner is performing electrical work for others illicenciatus, as they are undertaking a specialized and regulated trade without the professional license and permits legally required to ensure safety and compliance with building codes.
