res inter alios acta

Read a random definition: judicial contempt

A quick definition of res inter alios acta:

Term: res inter alios acta

Definition: Res inter alios acta means that something that happened between two people cannot be used as evidence in a case involving a third person. For example, if two friends had a conversation about a crime, that conversation cannot be used as evidence in court against a third person who was not present during the conversation. It is like saying that what happens between two people is their own business and cannot be used to judge someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

res inter alios acta

Res inter alios acta is a Latin term that means "a thing done between others." It refers to a situation where a person is not involved in a particular event or transaction and cannot be held responsible for it.

  • If two people sign a contract, a third person who was not involved in the agreement cannot be held responsible for any of the terms or conditions.
  • If two friends get into a fight, a third person who was not present during the altercation cannot be held responsible for any injuries or damages that occurred.

These examples illustrate the concept of res inter alios acta because in both situations, a third person who was not involved in the event cannot be held responsible for any consequences that arise from it. This is because they were not present or did not participate in the event.
