adv. Law Latin
Without such cause. *In common-law pleading, this was part of the larger phrase
de injuria sua propria, absque tali cause ("on his own wrong, without such cause") appearing in a reply a trespass
plaintiff made to counter a
defendant's claim of
excuse. In an
assault case for example, if a defendant pleaded that he had struck the plaintiff in self-defense, the plaintiff could reply that the defendant was
guilty of his own wrong committed without such cause as
alleged. Cf.
DE INJURIA.
