Lat. Beyond or without the territory. 6 Binney's R. 353, 2 Kent's Com. 407. Extra territorium jus dicenti impune non paretur. One who exercises jurisdiction out of his territory is not obeyed with impunity. Dig. 2. 1. 20. Branch's Princ. 10 Co. 77. He who exercises judicial authority beyond his proper limits, cannot be obeyed with safety. The peculiar meaning of the words jus dicenti, (which themselves present an analysis of the word jurisdiction,) is lost sight of in the ordinary translations of this maxim. See Branch's Princ. Wharton's Lex.
