Legal Definitions - salvo jure

Definition: Salvo jure (sal-voh joor-ee) is a Latin term that means "without prejudice to." It is used to indicate that something is being done without affecting any legal rights or claims.

Examples:

• He sold the car to his friend, salvo jure, meaning that he did not give up any legal rights to the car even though he sold it.
• The company agreed to settle the lawsuit, salvo jure, so that they could avoid a lengthy legal battle but without admitting any wrongdoing.

These examples illustrate how salvo jure is used to indicate that something is being done without affecting any legal rights or claims. In the first example, the seller is indicating that he still has legal rights to the car even though he sold it to his friend. In the second example, the company is settling the lawsuit without admitting any wrongdoing, so they are doing it salvo jure.
