Legal Definitions - de manutenendo

de manutenendo

De manutenendo is a legal term that refers to a writ used against someone who has wrongfully interfered in a lawsuit by providing assistance to one of the parties to continue the litigation. This is known as maintenance.

For example, if someone is not a party to a lawsuit but provides financial support to one of the parties to continue the case, they may be subject to a de manutenendo writ. Another example is if someone provides legal advice or representation to one of the parties without being authorized to do so, they may also be subject to this writ.

These examples illustrate how de manutenendo is used to prevent third parties from interfering in a lawsuit and potentially influencing the outcome in favor of one party over the other.
