Term: MERO MOTU

Definition: Mero motu means doing something voluntarily without being told or influenced by someone else. It is a Latin phrase that was sometimes used in reference to a court, meaning that the court made a decision on its own without being prompted by anyone else. It is similar to the phrase "sua sponte."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mero motu is a Latin term that means "on his mere motion." It refers to doing something voluntarily, without any suggestion or influence from another person. In the past, it was sometimes used in reference to a court, as an equivalent of "sua sponte" or "on its own motion."

  • He resigned from his job mero motu, without any pressure from his boss or colleagues.
  • The judge dismissed the case ex mero motu, meaning that he did it on his own initiative, without any request from the parties involved.

In the first example, the person resigned from their job of their own accord, without any pressure from others. In the second example, the judge dismissed the case on his own initiative, without any request from the parties involved.
