The excessive case is a grammatical case, which denotes a transition away from a state. It is a rare case found in certain dialects of Balto-Finnic languages. It completes the series of "to/in/from a state" series consisting of the translative case, the essive case and the excessive case.


Finnish

The excessive is found only in Savo and southeastern dialects; speakers from other regions do not recognise it. Its ending is -nta/ntä. For example, tärähtäneentä terveeksi = "from looney to healthy", or a state change from mental illness to mental health.


Estonian

In the general pattern of the loss of a final vowel when compared to Finnish, the Estonian excessive ending is -nt. For example, tagant = from behind (something).

FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code (4269 words)
Where, as here, the excessive force claim arises in the context of an arrest or investigatory stop of a free citizen, it is most properly characterized as one invoking the protections of the Fourth Amendment, which guarantees citizens the right "to be secure in their persons.
Robinson, 414 U.S. Because petitioner's excessive force claim is one arising under the Fourth Amendment, the Court of Appeals erred in analyzing it under the four-part Johnson v.
In this case, petitioner apparently decided that it was in his best interest to disavow the continued applicability of substantive due process analysis as an alternative basis for recovery in prearrest excessive force cases.
Hydraulic Case Drain Filters (504 words)
Case drain filtration was included to reduce the possibility of cross contamination if a failure occurs.
The effect of high case pressure on axial piston pumps is the same as excessive vacuum at the pump inlet.
If residual case pressure remains high when the motor is stopped, loss of contact between the pistons and cam can allow the motor to freewheel, resulting in uncontrolled machine movement.
