I am planning on doing a bit of a rationalisation of some of these terms. There are simply far too many terms and many related terms could do with merging. If anyone has any objections to this, please feel free to bring it up here and we can discuss them on a case-by-case basis. My intention is to provide a general and concise explanation for any and all legal terms a layperson might come across in their day to day life; NOT to provide a scholarly resource for lawyers. --DamianJohn 22:48, 7 March 2013 (EST)
