causa data causa non secuta

causa data causa non secuta (kaw-z[schwa] day-t[schwa] kaw-z[schwa] non si-kyoo-t[schwa]). [Latin] Roman law. The consideration having been given but the counterpart not having followed. • The phrase appeared in reference to consideration promised for an act that never took place — e.g., an advance payment for work not done, or a gift given in contemplation of marriage before the wedding was called off. See CONDICTIO.
