Legal Definitions - sub suo periculo

SUB SUO PERICULO

Sub suo periculo is a Latin legal term that means "at his/her own risk."

• John decided to invest all his savings in the stock market sub suo periculo.
• The company warned its employees that using their personal devices for work purposes was done sub suo periculo.

These examples illustrate that when someone does something sub suo periculo, they are taking full responsibility for any risks or consequences that may arise from their actions. In the first example, John is aware that investing in the stock market is risky, but he chooses to do it anyway, knowing that he could lose all his savings. In the second example, the company warns its employees that using their personal devices for work purposes is not secure, and any data breaches or losses would be their own responsibility.
