As a lawyer, I often use some English. Below I have compiled some English words commonly used by lawyers, hoping to give you some help.

Reckless driving reckless driving is different from careless driving. Reckless driving is more serious, including injuring people and damaging property, and the punishment is heavier than careless driving.

When a party entrusts a lawyer to handle a divorce, the lawyer will generally sign a reconciliation statement, stating that the lawyer's responsibility is only to handle the divorce application for the party, and has not put forward any reconciliation opinions to the party.
redeem
Redemption in the mortgage of a building, if the lender intends to buy the building, he must first redeem the building from the bank. Due to the frequent buying and selling of buildings in Hong Kong, it is rare to redeem buildings before selling them. In most cases, redemption and sale take place on the same day.

alleviate
Legal relief refers to the civil request for relief from the court.

This inquiry process is very important, because if there is any problem with ownership through this procedure, the buyer can use it as the basis for kicking the contract.
trade control
Restrictions on employment mainly appear in employment relations. Many times, employers will include clauses in the employment contract to restrict employees from working in other places after leaving their jobs, or to restrict employees from working for other employers for a certain period of time. Due to geographical location or the length of time, these restrictions may be declared invalid by the court.
rule of law
The spirit of the constitution means that everyone needs to act according to the spirit of the constitution.
seal
The seal of any contract, together with the seal, indicates the authenticity and validity of the contract. In real estate transactions, effective transactions require the deed to be delivered with signature and seal, that is, it needs to be delivered with signature and seal.
circumstantial evidence
If the original contract of substitute evidence has been lost in the transaction, the court will often rely on these so-called substitute evidence without proving that there are restrictions and guarantees for both parties. These evidences can be letters exchanged between the two parties, or other documents signed by both parties to prove their contractual intentions.
severance/release pay
Employees who have worked for their employers for 24 months under a continuous contract are entitled to severance pay if they are dismissed or suspended due to layoffs. Please refer to the legal knowledge edition for the calculation method of severance payment.

In the house sale transaction, compulsory performance requires both parties to fulfill the "sale" clause.
Statement of property status
Balance Sheet In the bankruptcy application, the bankrupt needs to fill out a statement of assets and liabilities, which lists the information of all creditors and the debts owed. See the Bankruptcy Section of Legal Knowledge Edition for details.

Therefore, before the tenant decides to sublet the building, it is best to read the terms of the contract carefully to avoid litigation with the owner in the future.
subproblem
The right of subrogation most often appears in insurance cases. For example, in ordinary traffic accidents, if the owner has been insured, the insurance company will file a lawsuit instead of the owner or compensate the injured party.
Joint tenant
Decentralization is a form of property ownership. Different from the life-long contract with common rights, everyone has an independent individual, and the property will not be owned by the other party because of the death of one party. Therefore, if you find a buyer, someone can buy their part of the property at any time.
Tomlin order
An Tang Lin order and a reconciliation order. Mainly in civil litigation, the two sides reached a settlement agreement and attached their respective responsibilities to the schedule. However, this order only suspends the execution of the lawsuit. If one party does not act according to the order, the other party may apply to the court to resume the previous lawsuit.

trust
Trust In today's business society, many people will set up trust funds to manage personal property. On the other hand, in law, this kind of trust can have many meanings. For example, in terms of property ownership, the name on the land register may be a person, but in fact this person is only a trust unit and owns property in the name of one or several people. In this case, the owner usually asks the trustee to sign a document to prove the entrustment arrangement.
Undetermined goods
Uncertain commodities In the trading of commodities, the buyer asks the seller to provide, for example, ten commodities, but these ten commodities are exactly the same as those of other sellers, and the seller has not separated them from other commodities according to the buyer's request, so these ten commodities can be said to be an uncertain commodity. The function of this term is that if the goods are unfortunately destroyed by fire in the seller's warehouse, any loss will be borne by the seller because the goods are not identified as buyer's goods.
undertaking
Commitment is a voluntary commitment, which can be used in many aspects in law. For example, the sale of a building is about to be completed, but the seller still owes several deeds and cannot deliver them to the buyer's lawyer before the transaction. Usually, the seller's lawyer will give the buyer's lawyer a letter of commitment, and deliver the title deed some time after the transaction is completed. In addition, in divorce proceedings, if the party with custody wants to take the child to study abroad, in addition to his permission, the court will also ask the party with custody to give him a letter of commitment to take the child back to Hong Kong when necessary.
Improper influence

The wife borrowed a lot of money from the bank because of her husband's improper pressure, and finally she was unable to repay it.

There is no guarantee. In bankruptcy management, creditors can be divided into secured creditors and unsecured creditors. Obviously, the secured creditor is mortgaged, such as building mortgage. There is no guarantee, and there are other debts, such as credit card debts. In any case, secured debt must be safer than unsecured debt.
Legal possession of empty houses
In the transaction of house sale, unless the house is sold under a lease, it must be stipulated in the contract that the house must be handed over to the buyer. If the building is still in use by the transaction date, it is convenient to sell because the property has not been handed over to Kyrgyzstan.

Substitution responsibility

guarantee
Warranty In the contract terms, there is often a warranty clause, and the seller will provide the buyer with a guarantee of the quality of the goods. But in many cases, the seller made it clear that he would not provide any emotional guarantee for the goods he sold, so when signing the contract, he must carefully check these terms.

hurt

Writ of seizure of debtor's property
Usually, the writ of copying the seal will be applied together with the writ of recovery, mainly because when the bailiff recovers the property, the objects in the property will be seized and if necessary, the objects will be auctioned to pay off the debts owed.
Writ of possession
Writ to recover property This writ is mainly used to recover leased property. After the building is rented out, if the tenant owes the rent, the owner wants to get the property back, but he can't just open the door to get the property back. He must go through court procedures to get the property back. Of course, if the tenant is willing to sign and return the letter automatically, this step can be omitted and the cost can be saved.
