Definition: | Latin legal COMMON LAW phrase which means literally: "Deceptive Roman Speech". From Latin loquor = "to say, speak, tell", decipio= "ensnare, trap, beguile, deceive" and romanus = "Roman". When a LEGAL TERM is used in COURT having a deliberately counter or deceptive meaning to its true etymology, by right an individual may challenge the meaning, presenting its true intent and must then offer a term that is consistent with the claimed meaning to be conveyed. romanus decipio loquitor only gives relief to deliberately deceptive LEGAL TERMS, not DUE PROCESS or CONSENT. |
