/tʃɑːrdʒ ɒn ðə ˈmerɪts/ – Phrase
Definition: buộc tội theo thực chất sự việc.
A more thorough explanation: “Charge on the merits” refers to a legal decision or ruling made based on the substantive facts and merits of a case, rather than on procedural technicalities or other extraneous considerations. In other words, a decision made on the merits focuses on the actual substance of the case and the relevant legal principles involved.
Example: The court will decide whether to dismiss the case or proceed to trial based on the charge on the merits.
