prorogé

Prorogé is a term derived from the Latin word "prorogare," meaning to postpone or extend. In various contexts, it signifies the act of delaying or deferring something that was scheduled to happen at a specific time. This can apply to legal proceedings, legislative sessions, contractual obligations, or even events. The core concept is the rescheduling of a deadline or a period of activity to a later date.

In parliamentary or legislative settings, prorogation refers to the formal suspension or termination of a session of a legislature. When a session is prorogued, all pending bills and legislative business typically lapse, meaning they must be reintroduced in the next session. This is a distinct action from adjournment, which is a temporary suspension of proceedings within a session.

In legal terms, a prorogation can refer to the extension of a deadline for filing documents or completing a legal process. This is often granted by a court or agreed upon by the parties involved. Similarly, in contractual agreements, prorogation might involve extending the timeframe for fulfilling certain obligations or the duration of the contract itself. The specific implications of prorogé depend heavily on the domain in which it is used and the rules or agreements governing that domain.
