A quick definition of termini habiles:

Termini habiles means having enough reasons or evidence to prove something. It is often used in legal cases to establish a right. On the other hand, termini sanctorum refers to the limits of a sanctuary, which is a safe place where people can go to avoid being punished by the law. In medieval times, churches were often considered sanctuaries, and people who sought refuge there could not be taken away for a certain period of time.

A more thorough explanation:

Termini habiles is a Latin term used in law to refer to sufficient grounds. It is often used to describe the facts necessary to establish a prescriptive right.

For example, if someone has been using a piece of land for a certain period of time without objection from the owner, they may have established a prescriptive right to use that land. The facts necessary to establish this right would be the termini habiles.

Termini sanctorum is another Latin term used in law to refer to the limits of a sanctuary. In medieval England, there were certain ecclesiastical places where the king's writ did not run. These places were considered sanctuaries, and anyone who took refuge there was immune to legal process.

For example, if a thief took refuge in a consecrated church, they could not be extracted. The surrounding villages would have to prevent their escape and send for a coroner. After 40 days, the thief would have to choose whether to stand trial or leave the realm. This was known as the privilege of sanctuary, and the limits of the sanctuary were the termini sanctorum.
