In law, sua sponte (Latin: "of his, her, its or their own accord") or suo motu/suo moto ("on its own motion") [1] describes an act of authority taken without formal prompting from another party. [2] The term is usually applied to actions by a judge taken without a prior motion or request from the parties.
Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent and common time, is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of true ...
European Court of Justice judgments use the phrase "of its own motion" and its equivalent in other community languages. [8] As it relates to a monarch, the term motu proprio describes the condition of a royal decree being made expressly on the sovereign's initiative, a practice more usual in some nations than in others.
In physics, motion is when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point in a given time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement , distance , velocity , acceleration , speed , and frame of reference to an observer, measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame with a change in time.
Coming to motion, Sachs gives the example of a man walking across the room and explains as follows: "Once he has reached the other side of the room, his potentiality to be there has been actualized in Ross' sense of the term". This is a type of energeia. However, it is not a motion, and not relevant to the definition of motion.
The Labour government eventually fell when, in a debate about alleged political interference in a decision whether to prosecute a Communist newspaper editor, the Conservative Party abandoned its own motion and voted for a Liberal one which thus passed and caused the resignation of the Labour government.
An appellate court may also vacate its own decisions. Rules of procedure may allow vacatur either at the request of a party (a motion to vacate) or sua sponte (at the court's initiative). [1] A vacated judgment may free the parties to civil litigation to re-litigate the issues subject to the vacated judgment.
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the form of energy that it possesses due to its motion. [ 1 ] In classical mechanics , the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass m traveling at a speed v is 1 2 m v 2 {\textstyle {\frac {1}{2}}mv^{2}} .
