A more throughout explanation: In legal terms, “merit” refers to the inherent rights and wrongs of a case, based on the facts and applicable law. It is the quality of being particularly good or worthy, deserving of praise or reward. In legal proceedings, a decision or judgment is said to have merit if it is based on sound reasoning and valid legal principles.
Example: The court found that the plaintiff’s claim had merit, and therefore, the case proceeded to trial.
