Term: METE OUT

Definition: When someone does something wrong, they may need to be punished. To make sure the punishment is fair, it needs to be measured out carefully. This is what we mean by "mete out." It's like using a special tool to measure how much punishment someone deserves. Just like how we use a ruler to measure how long something is, we use "mete out" to measure how much punishment someone should get.

A parking meter measures how much time we have to park our cars in a certain spot.

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
