object

Read a random definition: demurrant

A quick definition of object:

Object: When people are in court, they might say "object" if they don't agree with something that's happening. This is like saying "stop, I don't think this is fair." Object can also mean the goal or aim of something. For example, if someone is playing a game, their object might be to win. In court, the object of the case is what the person is trying to achieve by going to court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Object can be used as a verb or a noun. As a verb, it means to raise an objection during a trial. As a noun, it refers to the aim or purpose of an activity or a court proceeding.

Verb: During the trial, the defense attorney objected to the prosecutor's line of questioning.

Noun: The object of the lawsuit was to seek compensation for the damages caused by the defendant's negligence.

In the first example, the verb "object" is used to describe the defense attorney's action of raising an objection during the trial. This is a common practice in court proceedings when one party believes that the other party's actions or statements are not admissible or relevant to the case.

In the second example, the noun "object" is used to describe the aim or purpose of the lawsuit. The plaintiff's objective was to seek compensation for the damages caused by the defendant's negligence. This is an example of how the object of a court proceeding can be the desired outcome or goal of the litigation.

@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. :)
