What does «ad quem» mean in Spanish?
- Latin expression meaning "who" or "before whom" or "for whom".
Examples of use in Spanish: "El recurso de apelación contra una decisión dictada en un tribunal inferior (juicio a quo) tiene por objeto evaluar la exactitud de la decisión, que debe ser ejecutada por un tribunal superior (ad quem)".
- Until which: date or end of a process or period. Ad quo and ad quem are used to express the computation of time, and also of distance in space. Thus, dies a quo, the day from which, and dies ad quem, the day to which, a period of time is computed. Thus, terminus a quo, the point or limit from which, and terminus ad quem, the point or limit to which a distance or passage in space is computed. For example, in computing time, the day a quo is not to be counted, but the day ad quem is always included.
