Legal Definitions - ejusdem negotii

ejusdem negotii

Part of the same transaction.

Ejusdem negotii is a Latin term that refers to a legal principle where two or more things are considered to be part of the same transaction. This means that if there are multiple contracts or agreements related to a single transaction, they are all considered to be part of the same transaction.

For example, if a person buys a car and also purchases an extended warranty for the car, both the purchase of the car and the warranty are considered to be part of the same transaction. This means that if there is a dispute related to the car purchase, the warranty agreement may also be affected.

Another example could be a real estate transaction where the purchase agreement, mortgage agreement, and any other related contracts are all considered to be part of the same transaction.
