Simple English definitions for legal terms
Read a random definition: open lewdness
Definition: Modo et forma means "in manner and form" in Latin. In common-law pleading, this phrase was used to begin the conclusion of a traverse. It was used to put the burden on the party whose pleading was being traversed to prove the allegations of fact and to establish the correctness of the manner and form of the pleading.
These examples illustrate how modo et forma is used in legal proceedings to emphasize the importance of proving the details and correctness of a pleading or contract.
