infra

Primary tabs

"Infra" is a Latin word that is used as a legal term in many jurisdictions to mean "below" or "below this point." In the legal context, "infra" is often used to refer to a section or part of a legal document or decision that appears below the current section or part. It can also be used to refer to a footnote or reference to another section of the document or decision.

The use of "infra" allows the writer to make references to specific parts of a legal document or decision, making it easier for the reader to locate relevant information. This can be particularly useful when referring to a lengthy document or decision, as it provides a way to make specific references without having to quote large portions of the text.

For example, a legal decision might state "as discussed infra," meaning "as discussed below." The writer is referring to a specific section or part of the decision that appears below the current section or part.
