A more thorough explanation:

nummi pupillares

Nummi pupillares is a Latin term used in Scots law to refer to money that belongs to a pupil.

For example, if a child inherits money from a deceased parent, that money would be considered nummi pupillares and would be managed by a guardian until the child reaches adulthood.

Another example would be if a child earns money from a job or receives a settlement in a legal case, that money would also be considered nummi pupillares and would be managed by a guardian until the child is old enough to manage it themselves.

These examples illustrate how nummi pupillares is used to protect the financial interests of children who are not yet able to manage their own money.
