Simple English definitions for legal terms

intendment

Read a random definition: testimonium clause

A quick definition of intendment:

Intendment is a legal term that refers to the meaning or intention behind a law or legal document. It can also refer to a person's expectations when interacting with others in a legal context. For example, when we vote in an election, we expect our vote to be counted accurately, even if we don't consciously think about it. Intendment helps us understand the underlying expectations and meanings in legal situations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Intendment refers to the sense in which the law understands something. It can also refer to a decision-maker's inference about the true meaning or intention of a legal instrument.

Example 1: The intendment of a contract is that the contract is legally enforceable.

Explanation: This means that when two parties enter into a contract, the law assumes that they intend for the contract to be legally binding and enforceable.

Example 2: The court reasoned that there is no need for intendment when the text of the statute is clear.

Explanation: This means that when the language of a law or statute is clear, there is no need to infer or interpret its meaning. The court can simply rely on the plain meaning of the text.

Example 3: When I cast my vote in an election, my conduct is directed and conditioned by an anticipation that my ballot will be counted in favor of the candidate I actually vote for.

Explanation: This means that when we participate in legal processes like elections, we have certain expectations or intendments about how the process will work. For example, we expect that our vote will be counted accurately and that the election will be conducted fairly.
