Record 1 2026-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Decisions (Practice and Procedural Law)
CONT

It is a long-standing rule that a court of common law will not grant a successful plaintiff more than what was asked for in the plaintiff's prayer for relief. A judgment which is ultra petita may be successfully appealed as it is not good in law.

OBS

Although the designation "non ultra petita" seems to be an antonym of the designation "ultra petita", it is not. It means the same thing in Latin as "ultra petita": not beyond the request.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Décisions (Droit judiciaire)
CONT

Ainsi conclut-elle que le Tribunal n'a pas respecté les règles de justice naturelle et a jugé ultra petita (au-delà de la demande qui lui était présentée).

OBS

Bien que la désignation «non ultra petita» semble être un antonyme de la désignation «ultra petita», ce n'est pas le cas, car il s'agit simplement d'une formulation en latin de la règle par la négative.

OBS

non ultra petita : Cette désignation est à la fois une locution nominale, une locution adjectivale ou une locution adverbiale.

full profile: term officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.
