error in vacuo

Read a random definition: negative disinheritance

A quick definition of error in vacuo:

Error in vacuo is a mistake that does not affect the outcome of a case or a party's rights. It is like a harmless mistake that does not change anything important. For example, if someone misspells a word in a document, it is an error in vacuo because it does not change the meaning of the document. It is not a big deal and does not need to be fixed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Error in vacuo refers to an error that does not affect a party's substantive rights or the outcome of a case. It is also known as harmless error.

Examples:

  • During a trial, the judge allows a witness to testify about something that is not relevant to the case. However, this testimony does not affect the final decision of the jury. This is an example of error in vacuo.
  • In a contract, there is a minor mistake in the amount of money to be paid. However, this mistake does not change the overall agreement between the parties. This is also an example of error in vacuo.

These examples illustrate how an error can occur during a legal proceeding, but it does not have a significant impact on the outcome of the case. In other words, the error is harmless and does not affect the substantive rights of the parties involved.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
