A quick definition of et habuit:

Term: ET HABUIT

Definition: Et habuit is a Latin phrase that means "and he had it." This phrase was commonly used in the Year Books to indicate that a party's request or demand was granted. In simpler terms, it means that someone got what they asked for.

A more thorough explanation:

Et habuit (pronounced et hab-yoo-it) is a Latin phrase that means "and he had [it]." In legal history, it was a common phrase used in the Year Books to indicate that a party's application or demand was granted.

Example 1: John filed a petition to the court to have his property returned to him. The judge reviewed the case and granted John's request. The court clerk recorded the decision as "et habuit," indicating that John's demand was granted.

Example 2: Mary requested the court to dismiss the charges against her. After reviewing the evidence, the judge agreed with Mary's argument and dismissed the case. The court clerk recorded the decision as "et habuit," indicating that Mary's application was granted.

The examples illustrate how the phrase "et habuit" was used in legal history to indicate that a party's request or demand was granted. In both cases, the court reviewed the application and decided in favor of the party. The court clerk then recorded the decision as "et habuit" to indicate that the party's demand was granted.

@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. :)
