Definition of autre action pendant
AUTRE ACTION PENDANT
Autre action pendant is a legal term that means "another action pending" in Law French. It was previously used in pleas of abatement.
For example, if a defendant is being sued for the same issue in another court, they can use the plea of autre action pendant to ask the court to dismiss the current case until the other case is resolved.
Another example is if a plaintiff files two lawsuits against the same defendant for the same issue, the defendant can use the plea of autre action pendant to ask the court to dismiss one of the cases.
These examples illustrate how the plea of autre action pendant can be used to prevent multiple lawsuits from being filed for the same issue and to ensure that cases are not tried in multiple courts at the same time.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is practice.
