Legal case
A legal case is in a general sense a dispute between opposing parties which may be resolved by a court, or by some equivalent legal process. A legal case is typically based on either civil or criminal law. In most legal cases, there are one or more accusers and one or more defendants. In some instances, a legal case may occur between parties that are not in opposition, but require a legal ruling to formally establish some legal fact, such as a divorce.
Mesure d'instruction in futurum
Une mesure d'instruction in futurum est en droit français une mesure qui peut être ordonnée par un juge à la demande de tout intéressé, sur requête ou en référé, dès lors que cet intéressé justifie d'un motif légitime de conserver ou d'établir avant tout procès la preuve des faits dont pourrait dépendre le litige. Elle permettra donc utilement à l'intéressé de faire établir une preuve avant même d'engager un procès, ou de la conserver lorsqu'il existe un risque que cette preuve dépérisse.
Verdict
In law, a verdict is the formal finding of fact made by a jury on matters or questions submitted to the jury by a judge. In a bench trial, the judge's decision near the end of the trial is simply referred to as a finding. In England and Wales, a coroner's findings used to be called verdicts but are, since 2009, called conclusions (see ). The term "verdict", from the Latin veredictum, literally means "to say the truth" and is derived from Middle English verdit, from Anglo-Norman: a compound of ver ("true", from the Latin vērus) and dit ("speech", from the Latin dictum, the neuter past participle of dīcere, to say).
