acting sui juris


Explanation:
NB the Anglicised spelling of sui iuris.

The positioning in a sentence or para isn't clear though, in the words of the late and great ProZ Americo-Mexican veteran, Henry Hinds, 'context is everything'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Sui Juris is a Latin phrase meaning "in one's own right." It means a person who is able to make contracts and sue others, or be sued himself.
