Definition of dies

Definition: A day or days.

Examples:

  • dies ad quem: An ending date for a transaction, such as the day on which interest no longer accrues.
  • dies amoris: A day set by the court for the defendant to make an appearance.
  • dies a quo: A transaction's commencement date, such as a day when interest begins to accrue.

These examples illustrate how the term "dies" is used in different legal contexts to refer to specific days that are important for calculating time or determining legal obligations. For instance, "dies ad quem" is used to refer to the last day for a transaction, while "dies a quo" is used to refer to the first day. "Dies amoris" is a specific day set by the court for a defendant to appear, while other examples refer to days when interest accrues or legal actions can be taken.

Simple Definition

Dies is a Latin word that means "days". It can refer to a specific day or a group of days. In law, it can also refer to the starting or ending date of a transaction or the date when interest begins or ends. There are different types of dies, such as dies ad quem (ending date), dies a quo (commencement date), and dies non juridicus (exempt from court proceedings). In Roman law, there were also specific days when legal or political business could or could not be transacted, such as dies fasti (days when justice could be administered) and dies nefasti (days when legal proceedings were not allowed).
