A quick definition of matter:

Matter: Matter refers to a situation or problem that needs to be resolved, often in a court of law. It can also refer to a statement or claim that needs to be proven. There are different types of matters, such as matters of fact (things that can be proven) and matters of law (concerning the applicable laws). Matters can be recorded in writing or proven through spoken evidence. Sometimes, new matters can arise during a legal case that were not previously mentioned.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Matter refers to a subject that is being discussed or disputed, especially in a legal context. It can also refer to an allegation that needs to be proven.

  • This is the only matter on the court's docket today. - This means that the only thing being discussed in court that day is the subject at hand.
  • The matters raised in the plaintiff's complaint are not actionable under state law. - This means that the allegations made by the plaintiff cannot be acted upon according to the laws of the state.

These examples illustrate how matter can refer to a subject or allegation that is being discussed or disputed in a legal context.
