A quick definition of privileged copyhold:

Privileged copyhold is a type of land ownership that is similar to copyhold, but with special rights and privileges. Copyhold is a medieval system of land tenure where a tenant held land from a lord in return for services or rent. Privileged copyhold gave the tenant additional rights, such as exemption from certain taxes or the ability to pass the land on to their heirs without interference from the lord. It was a way for the lord to reward loyal tenants and encourage them to stay on the land.

A more thorough explanation:

Privileged refers to a special advantage or benefit that is given to a particular person or group. It can also refer to a legal right or immunity that is granted to someone.

  • Privileged copyhold: This refers to a type of land tenure in medieval England where the tenant had certain rights and privileges that other tenants did not have.
  • Privileged debt: This refers to a debt that has a higher priority than other debts and must be paid first.
  • Privileged evidence: This refers to evidence that is protected by a legal privilege, such as attorney-client privilege or doctor-patient privilege.
  • Privileged motion: This refers to a motion in parliamentary procedure that has a higher priority than other motions and must be considered first.
  • Privileged question: This refers to a question in parliamentary procedure that has a higher priority than other questions and must be answered first.
  • Privileged subscription: This refers to a right given to existing shareholders to purchase additional shares of a company before they are offered to the public.
  • Privileged villeinage: This refers to a type of villeinage in medieval England where the villein had certain rights and privileges that other villeins did not have.
  • Privilege from arrest: This refers to a legal right or immunity that protects certain individuals from being arrested or detained, such as members of parliament or diplomats.
  • Privileges and Immunities Clause: This refers to a provision in the US Constitution that prohibits states from discriminating against citizens of other states who are visiting or living in their state.

These examples illustrate how the term "privileged" can be used in different contexts to refer to different types of advantages, benefits, rights, or immunities that are granted to certain individuals or groups. In each case, the privileged person or group has a special status or position that gives them certain advantages or protections that others do not have. This can create a sense of inequality or unfairness, as some people are given special treatment while others are not.

@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. :)
