A quick definition of in praesentia dominorum:

Term: in praesentia dominorum

Definition: In the presence of the lords. This phrase was used in history to show that the presiding judge signed a document in front of the other judges, so they didn't have to sign it too. It's abbreviated as IPD.

A more thorough explanation:

in praesentia dominorum

When this Latin phrase is added to a judge's signature, it means that the other judges don't have to sign the document because they were present when the presiding judge signed it.

  • The presiding judge signed the document and added "in praesentia dominorum" to indicate that the other judges were present and didn't need to sign.
  • The court clerk noted "in praesentia dominorum" on the document to show that the presiding judge had signed it in the presence of the other judges.

These examples show how the phrase is used to indicate that the other judges were present when the presiding judge signed the document. It's a way to save time and effort by not requiring all the judges to sign.
