💥 LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Opening Statement

💥 Overview
The opening statement is a lawyer’s first opportunity to address the jury in a trial. Generally, the party who bears the burden of proof (plaintiff in a civil case or prosecution in a criminal case) begins the opening statements, followed immediately after by the adverse party (defendant).

💥 Purpose
Opening statements are intended to give the jury a preview of the case. An opening statement describes the parties, outlines the nature of the issue in dispute , presents a concise overview of the facts and evidence so that the jury can better understand the overall case, frames the evidence in a way that is favorable to the counsel’s theory of the case, and outlines what the counsel expects to prove.

While a good opening statement is persuasive, it should not argue the facts of the case or ask the jury to make any inferences or judgments.

LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Covenant Not to Sue

1 Reply

💥TOPICS FOR OUR BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES

💥What Is a Covenant Not to Sue?
⚡️A covenant not to sue is a legal agreement that obliges a party that could seek damages to refrain from suing the party that it has cause against. A covenant not to sue may indicate that the potential claimant will not sue in perpetuity, or may indicate that the claimant may postpone a lawsuit for a defined period of time.

⚡️A covenant not to sue is a legal agreement in which the party seeking damages agrees not to sue the party that it has cause against.

💥Covenants not to sue are used to settle specific legal issues outside of the court system.
A covenant not to sue preserves the existence of the cause of action but places contractual restrictions on the injured party’s right to file suit.

LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Cramdown

Leave a reply

💥What Is a Cramdown?

💥TOPICS FOR OUR LEGAL ENGLISH COURSES (INSOLVENCY)

💥A cramdown is the imposition of a bankruptcy reorganization plan by a court despite any objections by certain classes of creditors. A cramdown is often utilized as a part of the Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing and involves the debtor changing the terms of a contract with a creditor with the help of the court. This provision reduces the amount owed to the creditor to reflect the fair market value of the collateral that was used to secure the original debt.

💥A cramdown provision (also known as “cram-down”) is primarily used on certain secured debts, such as a car or furniture. Cramdowns are not permitted on mortgages for homes that serve as a primary residence.

💥Outlined in Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the cramdown provision allows a bankruptcy court to ignore the objections of a secured creditor and approve a debtor’s reorganization plan as long as it is “fair and equitable.”

LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Opening Statement

Overview
The opening statement is a lawyer’s first opportunity to address the jury in a trial. Generally, the party who bears the burden of proof (plaintiff in a civil case or prosecution in a criminal case) begins the opening statements, followed immediately after by the adverse party (defendant).

Purpose
Opening statements are intended to give the jury a preview of the case. An opening statement describes the parties, outlines the nature of the issue in dispute , presents a concise overview of the facts and evidence so that the jury can better understand the overall case, frames the evidence in a way that is favorable to the counsel’s theory of the case, and outlines what the counsel expects to prove.

While a good opening statement is persuasive, it should not argue the facts of the case or ask the jury to make any inferences or judgments.

Waiver
A party may elect to waive their right to make an opening statement, but that generally does not preclude the opposing party from making an opening statement.

The defense may choose not to make an opening statement so that they do not lock themselves into one theory for acquittal , which affords them the flexibility to pursue an affirmative defense or rely on the inadequacy of the opposing party’s evidence to meet the burden of proof.

LEGAL ENGLISH TUTORIAL: Golden Shares

Leave a reply

🔔TOPICS FOR OUR LEGAL ENGLISH CLASSES

🔔What Is A Golden Share?
A golden share is a type of share that gives its shareholder veto power over changes to the company’s charter. It holds special voting rights, giving its holder the ability to block another shareholder from taking more than a ratio of ordinary shares.

💥Ordinary shares are equal to other ordinary shares in profits and voting rights. These shares also have the ability to block a takeover or acquisition by another company.

💥Golden shares can be issued by public companies or governments. One of these shares controls at least 51% of voting rights. In the case of a company, it can only issue golden shares after passing special resolutions and changing its memorandum and articles of association. This document governs or dictates a company’s relationship with outside businesses.

💥Golden shares were most popular during the 1980s when the British government began privatizing companies and wished to retain control over them. Governments in other parts of Europe and the Soviet Union also followed suit.

💥Golden shares have been predominantly used in the United Kingdom. Other countries, including Brazil, use golden shares to keep control over state-run entities. The European Union, on the other hand, has mostly banned the use of golden shares by companies and governments. While the EU permits governments to protect vital services, it does not allow golden shares, calling them unjustified and disproportionate to the interests of the company and economy.

TOPICS FOR OUR LEGAL ENGLISH COURSE

💥A statement of defense is a legal document.
It is a written response that answers or replies to specific allegations that have been filed against you in a lawsuit. As the defendant, you will receive a summons in the form of a statement of complaint. To respond, you will need to obtain the proper forms from the local clerk of court. In addition to the statement of defense, you may want to collect additional materials to support your case. You have to complete everything and turn it in by the time of the hearing date.

💥Introduction
Carefully read the statement of claim. The claim is the legal document filed against you. It will articulate each of the accusations that the plaintiff is making against you. Each accusation will consist of a fact and a reason or reasons to support it. It may be worded in such a way as to make a simple denial or admission on your part difficult. Read it critically and make sure that you fully understand each point that you are responding to.

Obtain the appropriate form. You will need an answer or general denial form. You can obtain this at clerk at the court over your jurisdiction.

💥Prepare your defense. Once you have understood the format of the statement of defense, read the claim against you again and develop a general strategy. If there are witnesses who support your case, interview them and keep notes. Collect any documentation that supports your case such as correspondence, documentation and receipts.

💥Respond to each of the claims. Deny each allegation, saying it is wrong. You can also assert a legal defense. Follow paragraph by paragraph the statement of claim and make sure to answer each point. Write a short sentence in response to each paragraph. Show how your actions were not in violation of the law.

💥Critically read your statement. Once you have completed the statement, critically reflect on it. It is also good to have someone else read it as well. Is it persuasive? Have you clearly answered or responded to each of the allegations?

Sign and date your statement and turn it in at court. Make sure to meet the deadline. Deadlines vary from state to state. Some courts require a notary public.
