Simple English definitions for legal terms

before the fact

Read a random definition: short lease

A quick definition of before the fact:

Before the fact: This means that something was done or decided before an important event happened. It could be something related to the law or any other situation. For example, if someone plans a robbery and buys weapons before the actual robbery takes place, they are doing it before the fact.

Beg: This means to ask someone for something in a very serious way. It could be asking for help, money, or anything else. In the past, people used to ask to be appointed as a guardian for someone else. This means they would take care of that person's needs and make decisions for them. Nowadays, people usually ask for charity when they need help.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Before the fact means in advance of an event of legal significance.

Examples:

  • John planned the robbery before the fact.
  • The police arrested the suspect before the fact.

The examples illustrate that before the fact refers to actions taken before a crime or illegal activity is committed. In both examples, the individuals took actions in advance of the illegal activity, which led to their arrest and prosecution.

Other meanings:

  • To request earnestly or beseech
  • To request to be appointed as a guardian for a person
  • To ask for charity, especially habitually or pitiably

These meanings are not related to the legal definition of before the fact. They refer to different contexts where the term "before the fact" can be used.

before first action | beggar-thy-neighbor policy
