Simple English definitions for legal terms

slight care

Read a random definition: operative construction

A quick definition of slight care:

SLIGHT CARE: When we talk about slight care, it means taking care of something, but not putting in a lot of effort. It's like doing something, but not doing it perfectly. For example, if you clean your room with slight care, you might pick up some things, but not everything.

There are other terms related to slight care, like slight diligence and slight evidence. Slight diligence means doing something with a little bit of effort, but not a lot. Slight evidence means having some proof of something, but not a lot of proof.

There is also something called the slight-evidence rule, which says that if there is evidence that some people were working together to do something wrong, then it only takes a little bit of evidence to show that someone else was involved too. This rule is not used in all places, but it is still used in some.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Slight care refers to a level of care or diligence that is minimal or not very thorough. It can also refer to a rule in legal proceedings that requires only a small amount of evidence to prove a defendant's involvement in a conspiracy.

  • Slight care: If you are only taking slight care of your belongings, you may lose or damage them easily.
  • Slight-evidence rule: In some legal cases, the slight-evidence rule may be used to prove a defendant's involvement in a conspiracy. This means that only a small amount of evidence is needed to secure a conviction.

The examples illustrate how slight care can lead to negative consequences, such as losing or damaging belongings. The example of the slight-evidence rule shows how a legal principle can use the term "slight" to refer to a minimal amount of evidence needed to prove a defendant's involvement in a conspiracy.
