claimant

Read a random definition: South Eastern Reporter

A quick definition of claimant:

A claimant is someone who says they have a right to something, like land or things. They might say it officially. An occupying claimant is someone who says they have the right to land because they have made improvements to it. This can happen if the land doesn't actually belong to them.

An occurrence is something that happens, like an accident or event. If it causes someone to get hurt or damages their things, it might be covered by insurance. An occurrence policy is a type of insurance that covers these kinds of things. The occurrence rule says that if someone does something wrong, like breaking a contract, the time limit for suing them starts when they did the wrong thing, not when the person who was hurt finds out about it.

A more thorough explanation:

A claimant is someone who formally asserts a right or demand, especially regarding property. For example, if someone believes they own a piece of land, they may be a claimant if they assert their right to it.

An example of a claimant is a person who claims the right under a statute to recover for the cost of improvements done to land that is later found not to belong to the person.

Another example is an occupying claimant, which is a person who claims the right to occupy a property that they believe belongs to them.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
