Petition (US: motion) affirmed / denied / affirmed in part Explanation: Slightly different use in UK and US. Please astate which you want in the future, thanks. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-19 15:08:38 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- These are decisions made by a Judge. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-19 15:45:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry Valentim: I just noticed you did mention UK! Thanks. A \"Plea\", as given below, and even as quoted in the respective answer, is a declaration by the accused of \"guilty\" or \"not guilty\". It is not a \"pedido\". \"Admissible\" etc. are decisions about evidence that can be heard in the case. \"Request\" and \"granted\" are not legal terms in this context. \"Application\" can be used in some cases, but here Petition is preferable. |

Plea granted/denied/partly denied Explanation: This is what we would use for UK law. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-19 16:20:05 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- on reflection I think this refers to the type of decision handed down by a judge in chambers in the UK to an urgent request for a temporary course of action. Therefore it should be - injunction granted/denied/partly denied |
