Each legal entity receives a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) – a 20-digit code that serves as a reference to link a company to financial information. LEIs are still not fully standardized, despite the globalized economy we live in, as the laws and regulations that apply to legal entities vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Guardian ad litem: An adult appointed by the court representing a minor child or an incapable person. (See also ad litem.)

An original legal name must be chosen before a business entity can be formed. This legal name can be changed in the future, but a business entity can only have one legal name at a time. If you do it right from the beginning, you can save significant resources and headaches later.

May be: (1) an arrest warrant – orders a peace officer to arrest the person charged with a crime and bring them to trial for prosecution; (2) an arrest warrant – a judge`s order to arrest and bring a person to trial because the person failed to appear in court when they should; (3) a recall order – an order to remove information about revoked arrest warrants from Justice Department and state police computers in order to prevent erroneous arrests; or (4) a search warrant – a probable cause order that directs law enforcement officers to search specific premises for specific persons or things and bring them to court.

(Compare to bodily injury.) Non-compliance: Failure to perform an action for which you are legally responsible. (Compare misconduct, misconduct.) Genetic test: A medical test to determine legal parentage. (See also blood test.) Important reason: In an illegal liability case, there is an important reason if the tenant broke the lease or did something that legally justifies the termination of the lease. This is the American scene in a nutshell, but it is not entirely indicative of business practices in other parts of the world. Let`s take a look at the importance of legal entities in other jurisdictions. Levy: Obtaining money through legal proceedings through the seizure and/or sale of property. Protocol: The official (ongoing) record of a trial, which includes, among other things, which witnesses appeared, what requests were made, and what conclusions were reached. (See also transcript.) Here`s a world tour of legal entities outside the United States. View: Latin, meaning “you have the body”. A writ of habeas corpus is usually a court order that requires law enforcement to produce a detainee they are holding and to justify the detainee`s continued detention. Federal judges receive habeas corpus petitions from state prison inmates who claim their prosecutor`s office violated state-protected rights in some way. Process: Procedure in the context of a legal dispute.
The term “litigation” can also refer to a legal document in which a defendant must respond to a complaint or accept a default judgment. Adolescent: A person younger than the legal age of adulthood, which is usually 18, but in some cases 21. (See also minor.) ex parte: These Latin words mean “only on 1 side”. An example is a request made without informing the other party. In many courts, even ex parte applications require 24-hour notice to the other party, except in exceptional circumstances. Small jury (or trial jury): A group of citizens who listen to evidence presented by both parties to the trial and discover disputed facts. The criminal jury is composed of 12 persons; Civil juries are composed of at least 6 people. (See also Jury and Grand Jury.) Lockout: When a landlord locks a tenant out of the rental unit to end the lease. Lockouts and all other self-help evictions are illegal. Summary judgment: A decision of a court made on the basis of statements and evidence in the court record without trial.
It is used when there are no factual disputes in the case. A summary judgment shall be rendered when a party is entitled, on the basis of the undisputed facts in the minutes, to rule automatically in his favour. Income deduction: When automatic deductions are made from wages or income to pay a debt such as child support.
