RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Demand
Contracts. A claim; a legal obligation.
Resolution
1) A solemn judgment or decision of a court. This word is frequently used in this sense, in Coke and some of the more ancient reporters. It also signifies an agreement to a law or other thing adopted by a legislature or popular assembly. 2) Civil law. The act by which a contract which existed and was good, is rendered null.
Remedy
The means employed to enforce a right or redress an injury.
Grievance
In labor law a complaint filed by an employee regarding working conditions to be resolved by procedural machinery provided in the union contract. An injury, injustice, or wrong which gives ground for complaint.
Payment
1) Contracts. That which is given to execute what has been promised; or it is the fulfilment of a promise. Solvere dicimus cum quis fecit, quod facere promisit. But though this is the general acceptation of the word, yet by payment is understood, every way by which the creditor is satisfied or ought to be, and the debtor, liberated for example, an accord and satisfaction will operate as a payment. 2) Pleadings. The name of a plea by which the defendant alleges that he has paid the debt claimed in the declaration; this plea must conclude to the country.
Loss
contracts. The deprivation of something which one had, which was either advantageous, agreeable or commodious.
Insurance
Contracts. It is defined to be a contract of indemnity from loss or damage arising upon an uncertain event.
Court
A body in government to which the administration of justice is delegated.
Claimant
When a person is authorized and admitted to defend the libel, he is called the claimant.
Juridical
Signifies used in courts of law; done in conformity to the laws of the country, and the practice which is there observed.
Issue
1) Kindred. This term is of very extensive import, in its most enlarged signification, and includes all persons who have descended from a common ancestor. But when this word is used in a will, in order to give effect to the testator's intention it will be construed in a more restricted sense than its legal import conveys. 2) Pleading. An issue, in pleading, is defined to be a single, certain and material point issuing out of the allegations of the parties, and consisting, regularly, of an affirmative and negative. In common parlance, issue also signifies the entry of the pleadings.
