A quick definition of intus habet:

Intus habet: This is a Latin phrase that means "has in his own hands." It was used in the past to talk about situations where a tutor was holding onto a pupil's money without a good reason. If this happened, it was assumed that the pupil's money could be used to pay off any debts the tutor claimed the pupil owed.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: intus habet
Definition: This phrase means "has in his own hands" in Law Latin. It was used to talk about a situation where a tutor held onto a pupil's money without accounting for it. In this case, it was assumed that the money the tutor had was enough to pay off any debts the tutor claimed the pupil owed them.
Example: The tutor was accused of taking some of the pupil's money, but he claimed the pupil owed him money for extra lessons. The court decided that since the tutor had intus habet, he could use the pupil's money to pay off the debt.
Term: in tuto
Definition: This phrase means "in safety" in Law Latin. It was used to talk about situations where something was protected or secure.
Example: The valuable jewelry was kept in a safe deposit box at the bank, so it was in tuto from theft or damage.

@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. :)
