A more thorough explanation:

sui potens

sui potens is a Latin term that means "able to do something". It is often used in legal contexts to refer to a person's ability to enter into a contract.

1. A person who is of legal age and has the mental capacity to understand the terms of a contract is sui potens and can enter into a legally binding agreement.

2. A minor or someone who is mentally incapacitated is not sui potens and cannot enter into a contract.

The examples illustrate the definition of sui potens by showing that only those who have the legal capacity to enter into a contract are considered sui potens. This means that they have the ability to understand the terms of the agreement and are legally responsible for fulfilling their obligations under the contract. Those who do not have this capacity, such as minors or those with mental disabilities, are not considered sui potens and cannot enter into a contract.
