Simple English definitions for legal terms

no-right

Read a random definition: surrejoinder

A quick definition of no-right:

No-right means that someone doesn't have the right to stop someone else from doing something. It's like when someone offers to sell you something and you agree to buy it, they can't stop you from taking it because they have no-right to do so. No-right is the opposite of a privilege, which is when someone has the right to do something.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The absence of a right against another in a specific situation. It is the opposite of a privilege and is also known as liability.

For example, if A offers to sell a horse to B for $100 and B agrees to buy it, B has the privilege to take the horse and A has no-right to stop B from taking it. This means that A cannot legally prevent B from taking the horse because B has the right to do so.

The concept of no-right is often criticized for being a negative concept. However, negative terms can be useful in expressing negative propositions. For instance, the term "liberty" is a negative term because it means "no-duty not." This means that a person has the right to do something because there is no duty not to do it.

Overall, the concept of no-right is important in understanding legal rights and privileges. It helps to clarify the different types of rights and how they relate to each other.

@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.
