''Semble'' is an Old French word〔 and may be translated as "It seems or appears to be" or, more simply, "it seems".〔Harvey Cortlandt Voorhees (1911) (Concise Law Dicitionary ) (revised edition; original compiled by Frederic Jesup Stimson) Little, Brown and Company, Boston at 311〕 ==Law== The expression is used in law and indicates that the point to which it refers is undecided or doubtful.〔〔 In a law report, the expression precedes a proposition of law which is an obiter dictum by the judge, or a suggestion by the reporter.〔 For example, in the All England Law Reports headnote for ''Hedley Byrne'' v ''Heller & Partners'' () 2 All ER 575 (HL) the reporter (at 576 E-F) uses the expression when summarising certain remarks of Lords Reid, Morris, and Hodson on a point which did not arise for decision in the case; ''semble'' indicates that this may be the law but it falls to a future case to decide authoritatively.〔 In ''Simpkins v Pays'' (),〔'Simpkins v Pays' () 1 WLR 975 Queen's Bench Division〕 Sellers J, having made an award to the plaintiff, suggested "semble" that a similar award was due to a person (the defendant's granddaughter) who was not party to the action. Semble is also the name of a (mobile wallet ) app for mobile devices first launched in New Zealand in March 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Semble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
