DE INCREMENTO

De incremento is a Latin term used in law which means "of increase". It refers to additional costs awarded by a court in addition to the costs awarded by the jury.

For example, if a plaintiff wins a case and is awarded costs by the jury, the court may also award additional costs de incremento to cover expenses such as expert witness fees or other expenses incurred during the trial.

Another example could be if a defendant is found guilty of a crime and is ordered to pay restitution to the victim, the court may also award additional costs de incremento to cover the victim's legal fees or other expenses related to the case.

The examples illustrate how de incremento refers to additional costs awarded by a court in addition to the costs awarded by the jury. These costs are meant to cover expenses that were not included in the original award, such as legal fees or other expenses incurred during the trial. De incremento is a way for the court to ensure that all expenses related to the case are covered and that justice is served.
