recompensation

Read a random definition: patrimonial

A quick definition of recompensation:

Recompensation: In Scottish law, recompensation refers to when someone who owes money claims that they have already paid it and should not have to pay it again. This is usually brought up in a court case where the person who owes money is being sued for a debt. They argue that the money they owe has already been paid and should not be taken into account when deciding how much they owe the other person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Recompensation is a term used in Scots law to describe a situation where a plaintiff claims that they have already paid money owed to a defendant and that this should not be considered as a setoff against any award made to the plaintiff.

Example: If a person owes money to a creditor and the creditor takes legal action to recover the debt, the debtor may claim that they have already paid the debt and that the creditor should not be allowed to use this as a setoff against any award made to the debtor. This is an example of recompensation.

Explanation: Recompensation is a legal term that is used in Scotland to describe a specific type of claim made by a plaintiff in a debt action. The plaintiff is essentially arguing that they should not be required to pay the debt because they have already paid it. This can be a complex legal issue, and it is important to seek the advice of a qualified legal professional if you are involved in a debt action in Scotland.

@bunnynoise: odds are separate for each school so it’s like rolling on each individual school, that’s why applying broadly is so powerful
16:12
give me HLS +9800 i'll put $5 on that
so if you had a 25% chance it would be like (1-.25)^x power with x being number of schools. thats the chance of not getting into any of them
16:13
I’m not good at math i just think if you have like borderline stats your odds of getting a t14 are higher if you apply to all of them than if you apply to just one
