In haec verba
In haec verba (meaning "in these words") is a phrase in Latin legal usage, that refers to incorporating verbatim text into a complaint, pleading, or other instrument,[1] rather than by attaching a copy to the pleading or instrument.
For example, Delaware Code, tit. 8, § 102(b)(2) permits a corporation to enter into a compromise with its creditors if the corporation has included the specific language of the statute in haec verba in its certification of incorporation; thus, the exact language of the statute must be recited verbatim in the certificate of incorporation in order to take advantage of this statutory provision.
