Read a random definition: Option Contract

A quick definition of supplicatio:

Supplicatio: A request made to the emperor in ancient Rome to decide a case that was not already before a court or to reopen a case in which no appeal was normally allowed. It was used when justice was unlikely to be done in the ordinary court, or the claimant was of high rank, or the opponent was more powerful. It was also a petition for a pardon on a first offense. In history, it was a type of pleading similar to a rejoinder.

A more thorough explanation:

Supplicatio is a term used in Roman law. It refers to a petition made to the emperor to decide a case that is not already before a court. This can be used when justice is unlikely to be done in the ordinary court, or when the claimant is of too high rank to go before the ordinary court. It can also be used to reopen a case in which no appeal is normally allowed.

For example, if a person is humble and the opponent is powerful, they may use supplicatio to bring their case before the emperor. Or if a person is of high rank, they may not want to go before the ordinary court and can use supplicatio instead.

Supplicatio can also refer to a petition for a pardon on a first offense. This means that if a person commits a crime for the first time, they can ask for a pardon through supplicatio.

In addition, supplicatio can also refer to a pleading similar to a rejoinder. This means that in a legal case, a supplicatio can be used as a response to a rejoinder.
