Read a random definition: two-party payment

A quick definition of case number:

Case number: A special number given to a lawsuit when it is first filed in court. This number helps to identify and keep track of the case, so it doesn't get mixed up with other cases. Think of it like a special code that only belongs to that particular lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A case number is a unique identifier assigned to a lawsuit when it is filed with the court clerk. It helps to distinguish the case from all other lawsuits filed within the jurisdiction.

Example: When John filed a lawsuit against his former employer, the court clerk assigned a case number to his lawsuit. This number was used to identify John's case throughout the legal process.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a case number is assigned to a lawsuit when it is filed with the court. The case number helps to identify the case and distinguish it from other lawsuits filed within the same jurisdiction.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
