Legal Definitions - refutantia

Term: Refutantia
Definition: Refutantia is a legal term that refers to a document that acknowledges that no further claims will be made. It is like a receipt that says you have received everything you are owed and will not ask for more. Example: When you buy a car, you sign a contract that says you will pay a certain amount of money for the car. Once you have paid the full amount, the seller will give you a refutantia that says you have paid everything you owe and will not ask for more money. This example illustrates how refutantia works in a real-life situation. It shows that once you have paid for something, you cannot ask for more money or make any further claims.
