res integra

Read a random definition: Lex Duodecim Tabularum

A quick definition of res integra:

Res integra is a Latin term that means "an entire thing." It is often used to describe a legal case that has not yet been decided or a situation that has never been encountered before. Another term for this is res nova, which means "new thing." Essentially, these terms refer to situations where there is no precedent or established legal ruling to guide the decision-making process.

A more thorough explanation:

Res integra

Res integra means "an entire thing" in Latin. It is also known as res nova, which means "new thing". It refers to an undecided question of law or a case of first impression.

When a court is faced with a legal issue that has never been decided before, it is called a case of first impression or res integra. For example, if a new technology is invented and there are no laws that address it, a court may have to decide how to apply existing laws to the new technology.

Another example of res integra is when there is a legal dispute that has never been resolved before. For instance, if two parties have a disagreement over a contract provision that has never been interpreted by a court, it would be considered a res integra case.

These examples illustrate how res integra refers to legal issues that are new and have not been decided before. It is up to the court to interpret the law and make a decision that will set a precedent for future cases.
