Ex abundanti cautela
“Ex abundanti cautela” is a legal term in Latin, which means “out of abundant caution” or “from an abundance of caution” in English. It is commonly used to describe the idea of taking extra measures to avoid potential risks or problems, even if they seem unnecessary under normal circumstances. In legal contexts, it implies that someone is taking a particular action as a precautionary measure, with the intention of being overly careful to avert any possible risks.
