QUAE EST EADEM

quae est eadem (kwee est ee-ay-d<<schwa>>m). [Law Latin] Hist. Which is the same. • This

phrase was used by a defendant in a trespass action to show that the trespass the defendant was

justified in committing was the same as that alleged in the plaintiff’s pleading; that is, the plaintiff

gave the defendant permission to enter, and so the defendant entered the property. — Formerly

also termed que est le mesme. [Blacks Law 8^th]
