general imparlance

Read a random definition: right of publicity

A quick definition of general imparlance:

General Imparlance: A term used in legal proceedings to refer to a request made by the defendant for more time to answer the plaintiff's last pleading. This is usually done to allow the parties to settle the dispute without going to court. General imparlance allows the defendant to have more time until the court's next term, but they cannot later object to the court's jurisdiction or plead any matter in abatement. This term is rarely used in modern practice.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: General imparlance is a legal term that refers to a continuance granted to a defendant for the purpose of giving them more time to answer the plaintiff's last pleading. This is often done to allow the parties to settle the dispute without going to trial. General imparlances were abolished in England in 1853.

Example: After the defendant makes their initial defense, they can request a general imparlance to give them more time to respond to the plaintiff's claims. This allows them to try to resolve the issue outside of court before proceeding with the case.

Explanation: A general imparlance is a way for the defendant to delay the legal process and potentially avoid going to trial. By giving them more time to respond to the plaintiff's claims, they can try to negotiate a settlement or find another way to resolve the dispute without going to court.
