A quick definition of casus improvisus:

Term: Casus improvisus

Definition: Casus improvisus is a Latin term that means an unforeseen case or situation that was not planned for. For example, if a law was created to solve a problem, but a new situation arises that the law does not cover, it is considered a casus improvisus. In such cases, the law cannot be applied to the new situation. However, if the law is meant to help people, it can be interpreted broadly to cover similar situations that were not explicitly mentioned in the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Casus improvisus (kay-suh-s im-pro-vi-zuhs) is a Latin term that refers to an unforeseen case or situation that was not provided for.

For example, if a law was passed to address a specific problem and only applies to certain circumstances, but a situation arises that is not covered by the law, that situation is considered a casus improvisus. In such cases, the law cannot be applied to the new situation because it was not included in the original law.

However, if a law is meant to remedy a problem, it can be interpreted more broadly to include similar situations that were not explicitly mentioned in the law.

Overall, casus improvisus refers to a situation that was not anticipated or planned for, and therefore cannot be addressed by existing laws or regulations.

@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. :)
