Ex curia

The term “ex curia” is a Latin phrase that means “out of court” in English. It is frequently used in legal contexts to refer to actions, decisions, or resolutions that take place outside of formal court proceedings. Alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, arbitration, or settlement negotiations, can be considered “ex curia” activities. These methods allow parties involved in a legal dispute to resolve their issues informally and quickly, without going through a formal court trial. Encouraging the use of alternative dispute resolution methods can promote efficiency and reduce the burden on the judicial system.
