A more thorough explanation: “Germaneness” in legal terms refers to the relevance or pertinence of evidence, arguments, or issues to the matter at hand in a legal proceeding. It signifies that the information presented is directly related to the case or subject under consideration and is therefore admissible or appropriate for consideration by the court.
Example: The court ruled that the evidence presented was not relevant to the case and lacked germaneness to the issues at hand.
