Allocatur

“Allocatur” is a Latin term that is often used in legal contexts, especially during appellate procedures. It is typically associated with the process of seeking or obtaining permission to appeal a decision from a higher court. In legal systems that use Latin terminology, “allocatur” generally refers to an official certificate or endorsement by a higher court that grants permission for a case to proceed to the next level of appellate review.

For example, if a party wishes to appeal a decision from a lower court to a higher court, they may need to seek permission from the higher court. If the higher court grants permission, it issues an allocatur, indicating that the appeal is allowed to proceed to the next level of review. However, the meaning of the term may vary in different legal systems and jurisdictions.
