A quick definition of misa:

Term: MISA

Definition: Misa is a word that was used in old legal documents. It had two meanings. The first meaning was about a legal case where people argued about who owned a piece of land. The second meaning was about an agreement that people made to solve a problem without going to court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Misa (pronounced mI-zuh) is a term from Law Latin that has two meanings:

  1. The issue in a writ of right; a mise.
  2. An agreement; a compromise.

Example 1: In medieval England, a writ of right was a legal action that allowed someone to claim ownership of land. The misa was the question of who had the rightful claim to the land.

Example 2: A misa can also refer to an agreement or compromise between two parties. For example, if two people are in a dispute over who owns a piece of property, they might come to a misa where they agree to split the property or sell it and split the profits.

Both examples illustrate the two different meanings of misa. In the first example, misa refers to a legal term that was used in medieval England. In the second example, misa refers to a more general agreement or compromise between two parties.

@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. :)
