mesonomic, a. Law.|mɛsəʊˈnɒmɪk, ˈmiːzəʊ-|
[f. meso- + Gr. νόµ-ος law + -ic.]
In the terminology of A. Kocourek: ‘a jural relation which does not directly affect the natural physical freedom of a human being with the support of the law but yet has legal consequences in its evolution’. Opp. zygnomic a.
1927A. Kocourek Jural Relations v. 69 Compared with zygnomic relations, mesonomic relations are inferior in legal potency. A zygnomic relation directly constrains the servus of the relation with the support of the law, but a mesonomic relation either does not constrain the servus directly or lacks the support of the law. 1930― Introd. Sci. of Law iv. 294 Put broadly, the function of mesonomic relations is to initiate or destroy zygnomic relations. Ibid., Mesonomic relations have many different forms and functions... The power to commit a tort is mesonomic. The duty to pay damages for the tort is zygnomic. The power to pay damages for the tort is zygnomic. The power to violate a contract is mesonomic. The duty to pay damages is zygnomic... A duty owed by a subject to the sovereign not to commit a crime is mesonomic. The power of a prosecutor to prosecute a criminal offender is zygnomic. 1964J. Stone Legal Syst. & Lawyers' Reasonings iv. 148 Kocourek's mesonomic-zygnomic distinction is no doubt a valuable one, even if we shrink back at the neologisms. Ibid. 149 For citizens' counsellors, as well as for citizens.., it is predominantly in the range of alternative courses left open by privileges and powers, the mesonomic relations, that attention and concern mainly moves. |
