Read a random definition: private act

A quick definition of prior-exclusive-jurisdiction doctrine:

The prior-exclusive-jurisdiction doctrine is a rule that says a court cannot take control of property that is already being handled by another court. A statement is a spoken or written declaration of facts. It can be used as evidence in a trial. A false statement is a lie told on purpose to deceive someone. A financial statement is a document that shows a person's financial situation. An incriminating statement is one that makes someone look guilty. A prior consistent statement is a previous statement made by a witness that matches their testimony in court. A sworn statement is a statement given under oath. A voluntary statement is one made without being forced or influenced.

A more thorough explanation:

The prior-exclusive-jurisdiction doctrine is a rule that states a court will not take jurisdiction over property that is already under the jurisdiction of another court of concurrent jurisdiction.

For example, if a property dispute is already being heard in a state court, a federal court cannot take jurisdiction over the same property.

A statement is a verbal or nonverbal assertion or conduct intended as an assertion. It can also refer to a formal and exact presentation of facts.

For example, a witness's testimony in court is a statement. A financial statement is a document that presents a person's financial situation.

A statement can also refer to an account of a person's knowledge of a crime, taken by the police during their investigation. This is called an incriminating statement.

A prior inconsistent statement is a witness's earlier statement that conflicts with their testimony at trial. This type of evidence is allowed into court only after the witness's testimony has been impeached.

For example, if a witness testifies in court that they did not see a crime occur, but had previously told someone they did see it, that prior inconsistent statement can be used to challenge the witness's credibility.

A prior consistent statement is a witness's earlier statement that supports their testimony at trial. This type of evidence is admissible if it is offered to rebut a charge that the testimony was improperly influenced or fabricated.

For example, if a witness testifies in court that they saw a crime occur, and had previously told someone the same thing, that prior consistent statement can be used to support the witness's credibility.

A sworn statement is a statement given under oath, such as an affidavit. It can also refer to a contractor-builder's listing of suppliers and subcontractors, required by a lending institution for interim financing.

For example, if a person signs an affidavit stating that they witnessed a crime, that is a sworn statement.

A voluntary statement is a statement made without the influence of duress, coercion, or inducement.

For example, if a person voluntarily goes to the police station to give a statement about a crime they witnessed, that is a voluntary statement.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
