A quick definition of had:
Term: HAD
Definition: When a law says that no legal action can be "had" or "maintained," it means that the action cannot be started or continued. For example, if someone wants to take away your house because you haven't paid your mortgage, the bank cannot start the process until they give you 30 days' notice. This is because no legal action can be "had" until that time has passed.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Commenced or begun, as used in a statute providing that no legal proceeding may be had (usually followed by the words or maintained).
