inter se

Inter se describes relations or rights between members of a group, as distinct from their relations with outsiders. Partners' rights inter se are governed by their agreement and the Partnership Act, while their liability to third parties is joint and several. The inter se seniority of employees is their seniority as against one another within a cadre. Shares of heirs inter se are the shares they take as between themselves.

The phrase is common in service law, partnership, company law and succession. In an interpleader suit, the claimants are left to litigate their claims inter se, while the plaintiff who holds the property is discharged.

Example

The dispute about the inter se seniority of directly recruited and promoted officers was referred to the tribunal.
