A more thorough explanation: a legal term that refers to the termination or suspension of a lawsuit due to certain events or circumstances. It typically occurs when a party to the lawsuit dies, becomes incapacitated, or when there’s a change in the legal status of a party.
Example: If the plaintiff in a personal injury case dies before the case is resolved, the action may abate. The lawsuit can then be revived by the plaintiff’s estate or heirs.
