In re mercatoria: In Scots law, this Latin phrase means that documents related to a business transaction do not need to follow the usual formalities to be considered valid and binding. This is because these documents are often prepared quickly and by people who may not be familiar with the formalities of legal documents. They are given special privilege because they are necessary for immediate use in business transactions.
