Reddendo Singula Singulis
Meaning :- Reddendo Singula Singulis is a Latin term that means
by referring each to each; referring each phrase or expression to
its corresponding object.

Example :- Doctor, Engineer and chef in a restaurant. Here, “In a

restaurant” only applies to chef and not to Doctor or Engineer.
Reddendo Singula Singulis
 The Reddendo Singula Singulis principle concerns the use of
words distributively. Where a complex sentence has more than
one subject, and more than one object, it may be the right
construction to render each to each, by reading the provision
distributively and applying each object to its appropriate
subject.
Reddendo Singula Singulis
Example :- If anyone shall draw or load any sword or gun, the
word draw is applied to sword only and the word load to gun
only.

Example :- I devise and bequeath all my real and personal

property to A.

It read “ I devise all my real property and bequeath my personal

property to A”.
