INSIMUL COMPUTASSENT

Insimul computassent (in-sim-əl or in-si-məl kahm-pyoo-tas-ənt) is a legal term in Latin that means "they accounted together." It refers to a count in an assumpsit action where the parties have reviewed their accounts, and the defendant has voluntarily agreed to pay the amount sought by the plaintiff.

An example of insimul computassent would be:

"The parties accounted together, and the defendant agreed to pay the plaintiff $10,000 for the services rendered."

Another example could be:

"After reviewing the accounts, the parties agreed that the defendant owed the plaintiff $5,000 for the goods delivered."

These examples illustrate how insimul computassent is used in a legal context to indicate that the parties have come to an agreement on the amount owed.
