2. The following excerpt is from the legal document known as an 'answer'. It was submitted to the court by the defendant.Underline the common Latin words and phrases in the text. Do you know what they mean?

The claim for breach of contract fails inter alia to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, is uncertain as to what contract plaintiffs are suing on, and is uncertain in that it cannot be determined whether the contract sued on is written, oral or implied by conduct.   The complaint alleges breach of contract as follows: ‘At all times herein mentioned, plaintiffs were a part [sic] to the Construction Contract, as well as intended beneficiaries to each sub­contract for the construction of the house. In light of the facts set out above, defendants, and each of them, have breached the Construction Contract.’   On its face, the claim alleges only that defendants ‘breached the Construction Contract’. But LongCo is not a party to the Construction Contract. Therefore LongCo cannot be liable for its breach. See e.g. GSI Enterprises, Inc. v. Warner (1993).

1. ad hoc athus (used after a word to indicate the original, usually incorrect, spelling or grammar in a text)
2.et alii(et al.) bfor example (used before one or more examples are given)
3. et cetera(etc.) cfor this purpose (often used as an adjective before a noun)
4. exempli gratia(e.g.) dagainst (versus is abbreviated to ‘v.’ in case citations, but to 'vs.’ in all other instances)
5. id est(i.e.) eand others (usually used to shorten a list of people, often a list of authors, appellants or defendants)
6. perse fand other things of the same kind (used to shorten a list of similar items)
7. sic gby itself (often used after a noun to indicate the thing itself)
8. versus(vs. or v.) h that is (used to signal an explanation or paraphrase of a word preceding it)

 

4. Match each Latin term (1-10) with its English equivalent (a-j).

  de facto a among other things
  ipso facto b per year
