Term: NON SUM INFORMATUS

Definition: Non sum informatus means "I am not informed" in Latin. In history, it was a type of judgment made when a defense attorney stated that their client did not give any instructions to answer a lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

NON SUM INFORMATUS

Non sum informatus means "I am not informed" in Latin. In legal terms, it refers to a type of default judgment that occurs when a defense attorney states that their client did not give any instructions to answer a lawsuit.

Example 1: In a civil lawsuit, the defendant's lawyer may file a non sum informatus if their client did not provide any instructions on how to respond to the lawsuit. This means that the court may enter a default judgment against the defendant.

Example 2: A criminal defendant may also be considered non sum informatus if they fail to appear in court or provide any instructions to their lawyer on how to proceed with their case.

These examples illustrate how non sum informatus can result in a default judgment against a defendant if they do not provide any instructions or fail to appear in court. It is important for defendants to communicate with their lawyers and provide instructions on how to proceed with their case to avoid being considered non sum informatus.
