/kɒɡˈnəʊvɪt/ – Verb
Definition: thừa nhận đơn kiện.
A more thorough explanation: “Cognovit actionem” is a Latin legal term that refers to a type of legal document in which a defendant consents to a judgment being entered against them without a trial. By signing a cognovit note or cognovit judgment, the defendant agrees to waive their right to defend themselves in court and allows the plaintiff to obtain a judgment against them. This type of document is often used in commercial transactions, such as loans, to expedite the process of obtaining a judgment in case of default.
Example: The defendant signed a cognovit agreement, acknowledging the debt and waiving the right to defend against the lawsuit.
