Suo motu

Suo motu

Suo motu, meaning "on its own motion," is a Latin legal term, approximately equivalent to the English term "sua sponte". It is used, for example, where a government agency acts on its own cognizance, as in "the Commission took "suo motu" control over the matter." Example - "there is no requirement that a court "suo motu" instruct a jury upon these defenses." State v. Pierson.
