motion for more definite statement

Read a random definition: fraudulent claim

A quick definition of motion for more definite statement:

A motion for more definite statement is a request made by one party to the court to ask the other party to clarify a vague or unclear statement in their legal document. This is done when the party cannot reasonably respond to the unclear statement. The motion is only granted if the statement is so vague that the other party cannot respond to it. The motion is not allowed if no response is required or if it is used to force the other party to include additional details that may make their document vulnerable to dismissal.

A more thorough explanation:

A motion for more definite statement is a request made by a party to the court, asking the opponent to clarify a vague or ambiguous pleading. This motion is filed when the party cannot reasonably respond to the pleading due to its lack of clarity.

For example, if a plaintiff files a complaint that is too vague for the defendant to understand, the defendant can file a motion for more definite statement. The defendant can ask the court to require the plaintiff to amend the complaint and provide more specific details.

However, this motion is not always granted. The court will only grant the motion if the pleading is so unclear that the opponent cannot reasonably be required to respond. If the pleading is clear enough for the opponent to reply, the motion will be denied.

It is important to note that this motion should not be used to force the plaintiff to include additional details that may make the complaint vulnerable to a motion to dismiss.

Overall, a motion for more definite statement is a tool used to ensure that both parties have a clear understanding of the issues at hand and can respond accordingly.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter
