Definition: lõi, cốt lõi.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, the word “core” refers to the central or essential part of something, often used to describe the fundamental principles, key elements, or primary aspects of a legal issue, argument, or case. It can also refer to the primary or most important part of a statute, regulation, contract, or other legal document.
Example: The core issue in this case is whether the defendant’s actions constituted a breach of contract.
