Simple English definitions for legal terms

accord

Read a random definition: Brussels Convention

A quick definition of accord:

Accord means when two or more countries or people agree on something and work together peacefully. It can also mean when someone offers to do something different instead of what they originally promised, and the other person agrees to it. Lastly, it can be used to show that a source matches another source that was mentioned before.

A more thorough explanation:

Accord has three main meanings:

  1. A peaceful agreement, especially between countries.
  2. An offer to replace a previous obligation with a new one, and the acceptance of that offer. Either party can suggest an accord. If the new obligation is fulfilled, it is called a satisfaction.
  3. A reference indicating that a source matches another source previously mentioned by the author. For example, if one participant in a negotiation reported a heated debate, an accord citation could point to a matching report from another participant.

Examples:

  • The two countries reached an accord to end the conflict.
  • The debtor proposed an accord to pay a smaller amount in exchange for the creditor forgiving the rest of the debt.
  • The journalist used an accord citation to show that two sources had reported the same information.

The first example illustrates the first definition of accord, where two countries come to a peaceful agreement. The second example demonstrates the second definition, where a debtor proposes a new obligation to replace the previous one. The third example shows the third definition, where a journalist uses an accord citation to indicate that two sources match each other.
