Legal Definitions - ut supra

UT SUPRA

Ut supra is a Latin term that means "as above." It is used in historical documents to refer to information that has already been mentioned or written above in the same document.

For example, if a historical document mentions a person's birthplace in one paragraph and then mentions their birthdate in a later paragraph, the phrase "ut supra" may be used to refer back to the earlier mention of the birthplace.

Another example could be in a legal document where a section refers to a previous section, the phrase "ut supra" may be used to avoid repeating the same information.

These examples illustrate how "ut supra" is used to refer back to information that has already been mentioned in the same document.
