Simple English definitions for legal terms

viator

Read a random definition: scilicet

A quick definition of viator:

A viator is someone who can have two meanings. Firstly, it can refer to an apparitor, which is a person who serves legal documents or carries out official duties. Secondly, it can refer to someone who is very sick and has a life insurance policy. This person can sell their policy to someone else for a lump sum of money.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Viator
Definition: A viator is someone who is either an apparitor or a terminally/chronically ill life-insurance policyholder who sells their policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment that is a percentage of the policy's face value.
Examples:
  • John works as a viator for the court, serving legal documents to people.
  • Mary is a viator who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. She decides to sell her life-insurance policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment.
The first example illustrates the definition of viator as an apparitor. An apparitor is someone who serves legal documents to people, and John is described as a viator who does this for the court. The second example illustrates the definition of viator as a terminally/chronically ill life-insurance policyholder who sells their policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment. Mary is described as a viator who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to sell her life-insurance policy for a lump-sum payment.

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
nattyalley
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
nattyalley
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
nattyalley
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr

It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
