Meaning

Latin for "from the beginning."

As a legal term refers to something being the case from the start or from the instant of the act, rather than from when the court declared it so.

In the past decade, commercial surrogacy has grown tremendously in India. It is currently estimated to be a $2-billion industry. Before November 2015, when the government imposed a ban, foreigners accounted for 80 per cent of surrogacy births in the country.
