A quick definition of conusance:

Term: CONUSANCE

Definition: Conusance is an old word that means jurisdiction or the power to make decisions about something. It can also mean acknowledging that you owe someone money or admitting that you did something wrong. For example, if someone takes something that doesn't belong to them and they admit it in court, that's an example of conusance. It's like saying "I did it" or "I owe you."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Conusance (kon-yuh-zuhnts) is an old-fashioned word that means jurisdiction or legal authority. It can also refer to an acknowledgment of a debt, act, or opposing claim.

  • When a court has conusance over a case, it means that it has the power to hear and decide that case.
  • In a land transfer by fine, the grantee may make an acknowledgment of conusance, which means they are acknowledging that they have the legal right to the land.
  • In a replevin case, the defendant may make an acknowledgment of conusance that they took the goods that are being sued for.

These examples illustrate how conusance can be used to refer to legal authority or an acknowledgment of a legal claim. In each case, the person making the acknowledgment is admitting to the legal authority of the court or acknowledging the legal rights of another party.

@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. :)
