distributive finding

Read a random definition: nonownership theory

A quick definition of distributive finding:

Term: Distributive Finding

Definition: A distributive finding is when a jury makes a decision that is partly in favor of one party and partly in favor of another. This means that both sides get something they wanted, but not everything. It's like sharing a pizza - one person gets some slices and the other person gets some slices, but neither person gets the whole pizza.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A distributive finding is a decision made by a jury that partially favors one party and partially favors another party.

Example: In a personal injury case, the jury may find that the defendant was negligent and caused the plaintiff's injuries, but also find that the plaintiff was partially responsible for the accident. As a result, the jury may award damages to the plaintiff, but reduce the amount of damages based on the plaintiff's own negligence.

Explanation: This example illustrates a distributive finding because the jury's decision is not completely in favor of either party. Instead, the decision is distributed between the two parties based on their respective levels of fault or responsibility. This type of finding is common in cases where both parties share some degree of fault or liability.
