most favorable light

Read a random definition: general power of appointment

A quick definition of most favorable light:

Most Favorable Light: When a verdict is scrutinized or interpreted, it is done so by accepting all evidence and inferences that support it and disregarding any contrary evidence and inferences. This is known as the most favorable light. For example, when reviewing a defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, the court will review the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Most favorable light refers to the standard of scrutinizing or interpreting a verdict by accepting as true all evidence and inferences that support it and disregarding all contrary evidence and inferences.

For example, in a court case, when reviewing the defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, the court will review the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict. This means that the court will consider all evidence and inferences that support the verdict and disregard any evidence or inferences that contradict it.

Another example could be in a job interview. If a candidate has a criminal record, the employer may choose to view the candidate's qualifications and experience in the most favorable light. This means that the employer will focus on the candidate's positive attributes and disregard any negative aspects of their past.

Overall, the concept of most favorable light is about looking at a situation from a positive perspective and giving the benefit of the doubt to the person or party being evaluated.
