/ˌhaɪpəˈθɛtɪkəl/ – adj
Definition: giả thiết.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “hypothetical” refers to a situation or scenario that is assumed or supposed for the purpose of argument or discussion, but which may not necessarily reflect actual facts or circumstances. It is used to explore potential outcomes or consequences based on a set of assumed facts or conditions.
Example: In a hypothetical scenario where the defendant had acted with intent to harm, the court may impose a harsher sentence.
