Curia advisari vult

Curia advisari vult meaning

Curia advisari vult can mean the court took time. This tag usually appears in a law report in the truncated form cur adv vult. It means that after argument the court retired to consider its decision prior to delivering judgment. The phrase "the court sought to be advised" is translated literally from Latin as "curia advisari vult," which is shortened to "cur adv vult" or "CAV." In a legal report, this phrase is used to indicate that the court's ruling was not issued extemporaneously but rather was saved for further consideration.

Why do we see Curia advisari vult

This phrase indicates that the court has heard arguments from both sides but requires further time to deliberate and consider the facts and law before rendering its decision. It is an important procedural step that ensures careful and considered judgment in complex legal cases. We see Curia advisari vult in modern legal systems because it is vital to ensure a fair and just legal process. It allows appellate courts to analyse, reflect, and make informed decisions, thereby avoiding any hasty or ill-considered judgments. In this way, the legal system can promote fairness, impartiality, and the rule of law.
