lawful cause

Read a random definition: No Religious Test Clause

A quick definition of lawful cause:

Lawful cause refers to a reason that is allowed by law. It is often used in legal cases to determine if someone is responsible for an event or injury. There are different types of causes, such as the direct cause, which directly produces an event, and the proximate cause, which is legally sufficient to result in liability. Good cause is a legally sufficient reason for a request or action, while probable cause is a reason to believe that a crime has been committed. A cause can also refer to a lawsuit or case in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A reason that is legally acceptable. It is also known as "good cause".

For example, if an employee is fired from their job, the employer must have a lawful cause for doing so. This means that the employer must have a valid reason for firing the employee, such as poor performance or misconduct.

Another example is in a court case, where the plaintiff must have a lawful cause for filing a lawsuit. This means that they must have a legally valid reason for taking legal action, such as being wronged by the defendant.

These examples illustrate how a lawful cause is a reason that is legally acceptable and justifiable. It is important to have a lawful cause in order to avoid legal consequences and ensure fairness in legal proceedings.
