transitory wrong

Read a random definition: dependent intervening cause

A quick definition of transitory wrong:

A transitory wrong is when someone does something that is against the law or violates someone else's rights, but it cannot be fixed or undone once it has happened. For example, if someone spreads a rumor about someone else that damages their reputation, that is a transitory wrong because the damage has already been done and cannot be undone. This is different from a continuing wrong, which can be corrected through specific enforcement, like paying back a debt.

A more thorough explanation:

A transitory wrong is a type of legal wrong that, once committed, cannot be undone. It is an act that violates someone's legal rights and is considered a breach of legal duty. Examples of transitory wrongs include defamation, which is a false statement that harms someone's reputation, and assault, which is the threat of physical harm.

For instance, if someone spreads false rumors about you that damage your reputation, that is a transitory wrong. Even if they later apologize or retract their statement, the damage has already been done and cannot be undone. Similarly, if someone threatens to harm you, that is a transitory wrong because the threat has already been made and cannot be taken back.

Transitory wrongs are different from continuing wrongs, which are ongoing violations that can be corrected through specific enforcement. An example of a continuing wrong is the nonpayment of a debt, which can be corrected by requiring the debtor to pay what they owe.

@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. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
