A quick definition of in quibus infitiando lis crescit:

Term: IN QUIBUS INFITIANDO LIS CRESCIT

Definition: In Roman law, this phrase means that when someone denies a claim for damages, the legal action can become more complicated and the damages can increase. For example, if someone denies owing money, they may end up having to pay more than the original amount claimed. This is because the denial makes the legal process longer and more difficult, which can result in a penalty of double, triple, or quadruple the original amount claimed.

A more thorough explanation:

IN QUIBUS INFITIANDO LIS CRESCIT

In Roman law, "in quibus infitiando lis crescit" means that the suit increases by denial. This phrase refers to the measure of damages in a legal action. If the defendant wrongfully denies a claim for damages, the defendant could be penalized by a multiple of the original claimed amount, usually double, triple, or quadruple.

For example, if a plaintiff sues a defendant for $10,000 in damages, and the defendant denies the claim, but the court finds that the defendant was at fault, the defendant may be ordered to pay $20,000, $30,000, or $40,000 instead of just $10,000.

Another example is if a landlord wrongfully withholds a tenant's security deposit and the tenant sues for the return of the deposit. If the landlord denies the claim and the court finds that the landlord was at fault, the landlord may be ordered to pay double or triple the amount of the security deposit.

These examples illustrate how the suit increases by denial. If the defendant had not denied the claim, the damages would have been limited to the original amount claimed. However, by denying the claim, the defendant risks a higher penalty if found at fault.

"Blueberry is normally the mature and smartest girl in the group. She is knowledgeable about almost everything. She spends so much time with books that she always knows exactly what others need, or where the specific topic they need will be located in her bookstore, Blueberry Books. She is a whole lot of knowledge and very well-mannered, which can confuse her friends since they struggle to understand her in some way. With her acute wit and flair for more than just average knowledge, Blueberry is a genius when it comes to organization, making plans, maps, and schedules, as long as it is not overly sophisticated." blueberry is autistic, confirmed
