/æk ɪn peɪs/ – Pharse
Definition: hành vi thực hiện ngoài phiên tòa.
A more thorough explanation: “Act in pais” refers to an action or conduct that occurs outside of a formal legal proceeding, typically in the presence of witnesses. It is a term used in common law to describe actions or statements made by individuals that are not part of a written contract or formal agreement, but are considered as evidence in a legal dispute.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the court found that the parties had reached a settlement agreement through their actions in pais, rather than through a formal written contract.
