A quick definition of held:

Term: held

Definition: When a judge or court makes a decision, it is called a "holding." This means that they have decided something and it is now the law. Everyone has to follow the holding unless they appeal the decision to a higher court.

A more thorough explanation:

held

In the context of a legal judgment or pronouncement, "held" means decided or ruled. For example, "the court held that the contract was valid." The holding of the court is binding, which means it must be followed. The only way to change the holding is to appeal the judgment to a higher court.

Example 1: The judge held that the defendant was guilty of the crime.

Example 2: The court held that the plaintiff was entitled to damages.

These examples illustrate how "held" is used in a legal context. In both cases, a decision was made by a judge or court, and that decision is binding. The holding of the court must be followed unless it is successfully appealed to a higher court.
