Simple English definitions for legal terms

detriment

Read a random definition: edictal intimation

A quick definition of detriment:

Term: DETRIMENT

Definition: Detriment means harm or loss that someone or something suffers. In legal terms, it can also refer to giving up a legal right that someone would have had otherwise. For example, if someone promises to pay a lot of money for a car that is worth less, it is still considered a detriment because they are giving up something of value. In contracts, it can also refer to something that someone offers to give up in exchange for something else.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Detriment refers to any loss or harm suffered by a person or property. In the context of contracts, it refers to the relinquishment of some legal right that a promisee would have otherwise been entitled to exercise. This is also known as legal detriment.

For example, if a person promises to pay £10,000 for a Rolls Royce worth £12,000, they are making a good bargain. However, this promise is still considered a detriment because they are giving up some of their legal rights. This promise is a good consideration for a promise to deliver the car.

In the context of contracts, a promisee may offer consideration to a promisor, especially in a unilateral contract. This consideration may involve a detriment to the promisee, such as giving up a legal right or suffering a loss.

Overall, detriment refers to any negative consequence or sacrifice that a person or property may experience, whether in a contractual or non-contractual context.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
