Simple English definitions for legal terms

wrongful

Read a random definition: undue prejudice

A quick definition of wrongful:

Wrongful: When something is wrongful, it means that it is not fair or just. It can also mean that it goes against the law. For example, if someone is fired from their job for no good reason, that is a wrongful termination. If someone takes something that doesn't belong to them, they are a wrongful possessor.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: characterized by unfairness or injustice; contrary to law; not entitled to the position occupied.

Examples:

  • A wrongful military invasion
  • Wrongful termination of employment
  • A wrongful possessor of property

The first example illustrates how a military invasion can be considered wrongful if it is unfair or unjust. The second example shows how terminating someone's employment in a way that goes against the law can be considered wrongful. The third example demonstrates how someone who is not entitled to a certain position or property can be considered a wrongful possessor.

Note: "Wrongful" can also be used in other contexts, such as "wrongful adoption," which refers to an adoption in which the adoption agency fails to provide adoptive parents with full or accurate information regarding the child's physical or psychological background. This can result in the adoptive parents seeking damages for medical care and emotional distress.
