General & Latin

Inter Alia

Also known as: among other things

In plain English

Latin for "among other things" — used to point out one or more items from a longer list.

What it means

Inter alia means "among other things". Lawyers use it to highlight a particular point while signalling that the full list or set of facts is larger. In Australian legal writing, you'll often see a document state that a party claims, inter alia, certain relief — meaning those items are examples, not the complete list. It's a way of being precise about what is being mentioned without implying it's everything.

How it's used

The contract required, inter alia, that the goods be delivered within fourteen days.
