Amplius is a legal term that refers to an additional or further action or proceeding in a legal case. It is often used when a party seeks to pursue additional claims or remedies beyond what has already been addressed in the initial legal proceedings. Amplius can be requested by either party involved in the case, and it typically requires the court’s approval. The purpose of amplius is to ensure that all relevant issues are fully addressed and resolved in a fair and comprehensive manner.
