defect of substance

Read a random definition: assignable

A quick definition of defect of substance:

Defect of substance: A mistake in an important part of a legal paper, like leaving out something necessary. This is different from a defect of form, which is a mistake in how the paper looks.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A defect of substance is a mistake or error in the essential part of a legal document. This can happen when an important term or detail is left out, making the document incomplete or invalid. It is different from a defect of form, which is a mistake in the way the document is written or presented.

Example: A contract for the sale of a car that does not include the make, model, or year of the vehicle would be considered a defect of substance. Without this information, the contract is incomplete and cannot be enforced.

Another example: A will that does not name any beneficiaries or heirs would also be a defect of substance. The purpose of a will is to distribute a person's assets after their death, and without naming beneficiaries, the will cannot fulfill this purpose.

These examples illustrate how a defect of substance can render a legal document invalid or unenforceable. It is important to carefully review and ensure that all essential details are included in any legal document to avoid such defects.

Mostlylegal

either way he doesnt get to play with his cat
Besmirchin

But the non-observable quantum state of uncertainty implies that both possibilities are simultaneously true

Let’s assume A(acceptance), R(rejection), D(decision). Although, according to logical determinism, the future event D may have a set truth value of A^R, the function of ^(or) allows for uncertainty because the truth value of a future event D being fixed as A^R (true or false) is just to say ~(~A^~R)—otherwise put as logical determinism can eat me

@CaliforniaPhilosopher: your translation from language to logic was close, the inclusion of the word "May" actually throws it off. it would actually be best expressed A^R>D. Logical determinism would put the true or false principle in this case on D rather than R or A. A similar confusion would be since A>~R would be ~A>R. this isnt logical since A and R or not the only inputs
