Jus Tertii


Full Definition of Jus Tertii


Latin: ‘rights of a third (person)’. Jus tertii is a defence to certain actions in Tort, notably conversion. By pleading jus tertii the defendant is not saying that the claimant does not have a case against him, but that somebody else has a better case. The defence probably exists as a matter of policy, to allow the courts to settle disputes among multiple parties in one hearing
