lack of jurisdiction

Read a random definition: continuing consideration

A quick definition of lack of jurisdiction:

Lack of Jurisdiction: When a court does not have the power to act in a certain way or provide certain types of help, it is called lack of jurisdiction. This can happen when the court does not have authority over a person or the subject matter of a lawsuit, or when it cannot act until certain requirements are met. It is also known as want of jurisdiction.

A more thorough explanation:

Lack of jurisdiction refers to a court's inability to act in a particular way or provide certain types of relief. This can occur when a court lacks the authority over a person or the subject matter of a lawsuit, or when the prerequisites for its jurisdiction have not been met.

  • A state court cannot hear a case that involves federal law because it lacks jurisdiction over federal matters.
  • A court cannot issue a ruling on a case if it does not have jurisdiction over the defendant, meaning the defendant is not subject to the court's authority.
  • A court may lack jurisdiction over a case until certain conditions are met, such as the plaintiff exhausting all administrative remedies before filing a lawsuit.

These examples illustrate how a court's lack of jurisdiction can prevent it from taking action or providing relief in certain situations.
