> D
| DE FACTO | ||
| Ancient Latin legal maxim meaning literally "concerning fact"-- more commonly understood as "as a matter of fact". From pre-5th Century Latin de= "from, concerning, about" and factum/factus = "deed, accomplishment, work, act, achievement". | ||
| DE JURE | ||
| Ancient Latin legal maxim meaning literally "concerning law ", or more commonly "as a matter of law ". From pre-5th Century Latin de= "from, concerning, about" and iuris = "justice, law, right". | ||
| DE JURE SOLUM ET NATURALE | ||
| Ancient Latin legal maxim literally meaning "concerning (the) law of (the) land and nature". Sometimes quoted in abbreviated form de jure soli. In COMMON LAW, when no explicit reference is made to the land, soil or nature, ROMAN LAW and therefore the fictions of the HOLY SEE are assumed to apply in which the land becomes "under the SEE (Sea)" and living men and women may be unnaturally treated as FICTIONS. However, when quoted with an understanding as to its meaning, a COURT cannot properly apply the Roman fictions. The common term "ON THE LAND" has a similar but less effective meaning. | ||
| DE JURE SANGUINIS CORONAE | ||
| Ancient Latin legal maxim literally meaning "concerning (the) law of (the) blood of crowns" In COMMON LAW since the end of the 16th Century, royal or noble blood has claimed superior status -- in particular to the freedom of their body, protection of property and the obligation of any matter brought against then to follow DUE PROCESS (of the LAW), especially right of RELIEF. When an individual claims de jure sanguinis coronae, providing they demonstrate a comprehension of the term and why they should be granted such status (for example--knowledge of the valid argument that you are of royal birth by virtue of being Sons and Daughters of the King of Kings) then the COURT must grant such recognition. This means any failure of DUE PROCESS or failure to account for RELIEF by the COURT obligates to compensate the individual accused. | ||
DECREE |
||
From 12th Century Latin decretus, decretum meaning "an official (church sanctioned) order pronounced in public by a duly appointed representative". Designed to usurp the ancient (pre 5th Century) Roman legal tradition of mandatum meaning "official order, decree, mandate, instruction". The word decree was created from the Latin prefix de = "to" (in this case) and credo="to believe / trust, commit / trust in, rely on / think". |
||
| DECLARE | ||
| From 14th Century Latin declarare and meaning "to weaken clarity". From deliberately shortened Latin word debilito as de = "to weaken, sap, exhaust" (in this case) and clarus = "clarity". Contrary to centuries of deliberate misinformation, the word declare has never meant "make clear" as a pre-4th Century Latin word (1,000 years before "declare") called aperio = "to uncover, lay bare, reveal, make clear" was already in general use. | ||
| DECLARATION | ||
| From 14th Century Latin declarationem (as well as English declaracion and French déclaration) meaning "A written or oral statement of CLAIMS by a PERSON witnessed by an OATH and given with CONSENT". As any STATE and/or CORPORATION is also legally a PERSON this definition holds legally accurate for statements by electors of a STATE (such as the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE). By the 18th Century, the word acquired a more formal legal procedural meaning = "the formal document specifying plaintiff’s cause of action, including the facts necessary to sustain a proper cause of action, and to advise the defendant of the grounds upon which action is being pursued". |
||
DEED |
||
| From 14th Century Old English daed/deed and 14th Century German daedis meaning "the written legal document that bestows or surrenders a right with PROOF". From pre 8th Century Latin de= "away" (in this context) and edo="put forth, give out". From 15th Century, an additional legal meaning was added= "A legal contract concerning BONDAGE". By the 17th Century, the word was further confused with the meaning "an act done". | ||
| DE JURE | ||
| By right | ||
DEBTOR |
||
A person who owes money to someone or to an organisation |
||
| DEMURRER/DEMURE | ||
| is where you admit to the facts but challenge the sufficiently of the process or law. Demurrers are motions to dismiss, motion to suppress evidence, motions for lack of service, due process, valid complaint, proper official office and powers, constitutionality and special circumstances like the officer lost sight in the chase or was outside his jurisdiction as well as common law defenses to the act complained of such as intent or lawful defense. | ||
| DISCLOSURE | ||
| From 16th Century Latin disclaudere, English/French desclore meaning "the act of providing information on discoveries, uncovered truth and exposures to a higher authority by legal CONSENT". Contrary to deliberately misleading definitions attributed to the word, Disclose/Disclosure has never been about revealing truth and knowledge, but about hiding it, controlling and (sometimes) destroying it. The word is constructed from two pre-6th Century Latin words dis = "away" and clausus "to confine, shut up, close, blockade, besiege". The word "disclosure" means literally "to confine away, to shut up away, to close away". Disclosed information can legally be withheld from public view, seized and destroyed. In contrast, the correct ancient Roman legal term for full disclosure is comperio = "to disclose fully, find out with certainty, lay open / learn, find out". | ||
| DOCKET | ||
| a document which summarizes a case | ||
| DOLI INCAPAX | ||
| Incapable of crime | ||
| DOMICILE | ||
| that place where a person has a true and permanent home - a person may have several residences, but only one domicile | ||
| DUCES TECUM | ||
| "Bring with you" - Order to produce document to court | ||
| DUE PROCESS (OF LAW) | ||
| A fundamental principle of COMMON LAW which obligates the COURTS and court appointed officers to follow correct legal process as well as the obligations of their office as established by legal PRECEDENT and reflected in CASE LAW. The ancient pre-Vatican Latin maxim for due process is VIRTUTE OFFICII --which translates literally as "by virtue of their office". Due Process is frequency misunderstood as pertaining to the rights of individuals before the courts and even the notion of "natural justice", which is strictly incorrect. Instead, it is the LAW itself that is granted certain rights under Due Process and which the COURT and its Officers are obliged to honor and follow "to the letter". | ||
