rule nisi

Read a random definition: inquirendo

A quick definition of rule nisi:

A rule nisi is a court order that will become final unless someone shows the court why it should be changed. It's like a temporary decision that can become permanent if no one objects. A decree is a final decision made by a court, either in a specific type of case like divorce or probate, or as a general judgment. Sometimes the parties involved agree to the terms of the decree, which is called an agreed or consent decree. There are different types of decrees depending on the situation, like a custody decree for child custody or a decree of nullity for declaring a marriage void.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A court's decree that will become absolute unless the adversely affected party shows the court, within a specified time, why it should be set aside.

Example: In a divorce case, a rule nisi may be issued to grant temporary custody of children to one parent until a final custody hearing can be held. The other parent has a specified time to show the court why the rule should be set aside or modified.

Explanation: A rule nisi is a temporary court order that becomes final unless the adversely affected party can show the court why it should be changed or set aside. In the example given, the rule nisi grants temporary custody to one parent until a final custody hearing can be held. The other parent has a specified time to present evidence to the court as to why the rule should be changed or set aside. If no evidence is presented, the rule becomes final and the temporary custody arrangement remains in place until the final hearing.
