Adjournment sine die (from the Latin "without day") means "without assigning a day for a further meeting or hearing". To adjourn an assembly sine die is to adjourn it for an indefinite period. A legislative body adjourns sine die when it adjourns without appointing a day on which to appear or assemble again. A corporate board might adjourn sine die if the corporation were being sold, merged, or liquidated. A convention or a series of mass meetings would adjourn sine die if the business of these meetings has been completed. In these cases, the adjournment dissolves the body.
