:
NISI. This word is frequently used in legal proceedings to denote that
something has been done, which is to be valid unless something else Shall be
done within a certain time to defeat it. For example, an order may be made
that if on the day appointed to show cause, none be shown, an injunction
will be dissolved of course, on motion, and production of an affidavit of
service of the order. This is called an order nisi. Ch. Pr. 547. Under the
compulsory arbitration law of Pennsylvania, on the filing of the award,
judgment nisi is to be entered: which judgment is to be as valid as if it
had been rendered on the verdict of a jury, unless an appeal be entered
within the time required by the law.
