Legal Definitions - nisi aliud convenerit

nisi aliud convenerit

nisi aliud convenerit is a Latin phrase that means "unless it has been otherwise agreed" or "unless something else has been agreed to." This phrase is often used in legal contracts to indicate that the terms of the agreement are binding unless both parties have agreed to change them.

• John and Jane agreed to meet at the park at 2 pm, unless it rains, nisi aliud convenerit.
• The contract states that the employee will receive a bonus at the end of the year, unless the company's profits are lower than expected, nisi aliud convenerit.

In the first example, John and Jane have agreed to meet at the park at 2 pm, but if it rains, they will need to make a different plan. The phrase nisi aliud convenerit indicates that they have agreed to this alternative plan.

In the second example, the employee is promised a bonus at the end of the year, but if the company's profits are lower than expected, the bonus may not be paid. The phrase nisi aliud convenerit indicates that the employee has agreed to this condition.
