7 hrs confidence:
suit judged to have merit Explanation: Perhaps "granted" fits in some contexts, but the idea of "procedente/improcedente" in texts I've dealt with does not imply that the object of the suit is granted, but that the court has deemed the suit worthy to be heard. In a recent court case, the judge ruled that the Public Prosecutor's action was "improcedente"...in other words was insufficiently grounded to justify being prosecuted. The following excerpt expresses what I have understood to be the issue with "procedente". I have **marked** the phrase, but see the final line, which explains it more fully. From: http://law.jrank.org/pages/12709/Crawford-El-v-Britton.html ...can overcome that first line of defense in a variety of ways, providing his or her complaint is **judged by the courts to have merit**. In other words, with the exception of the president of the United States (who has absoluteimmunity against being taken to court), government officials have the presumption of immunity from lawsuits while in office, but citizens can overcome those immunities--again, assuming their claims are substantial rather than frivolous. |

Case upheld/held entertainable Explanation: I've tried to incorporate Edgar's meritorious idea with entertainable whilst, certainly, the Spanish equivs. of procedent vs. improcedente mean case upheld vs. case or pleadings *struck out*. Example sentence(s):
