A quick definition of no cause of action:

Term: No Cause of Action

Definition: No cause of action means that there is no legal basis for a person to bring a lawsuit against someone else. It's like saying that there is no reason to sue because the person did not do anything wrong. It's a legal term that means the case cannot proceed because there is no valid claim or legal right to sue.

Term: Nocent

Definition: Nocent is an old-fashioned word that means harmful or guilty. If something is nocent, it can cause harm or damage. If a person is nocent, it means they have done something wrong or committed a crime. It's the opposite of innocent, which means not guilty or not causing harm.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: No cause of action means that there is no legal basis for a lawsuit. It is a situation where a plaintiff (the person who filed the lawsuit) cannot prove that the defendant (the person being sued) did anything wrong or illegal.

Example: If someone slips and falls in a store, they may try to sue the store for their injuries. However, if it is determined that the store did not do anything wrong and the person simply fell due to their own clumsiness, the court may find that there is no cause of action and dismiss the case.

Explanation: In this example, the person who fell cannot prove that the store was negligent or did anything to cause their injury. Therefore, there is no legal basis for the lawsuit and the court will dismiss the case.

@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. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
