/pli tʊ ðə dʒʊrɪsˈdɪkʃən/ – Phrase
Definition: phản đối thẩm quyền xét xử của tòa án.
A more thorough explanation: “Plea to the jurisdiction” refers to a legal argument made by a party in a lawsuit asserting that the court does not have the authority or jurisdiction to hear the case or issue a ruling on certain matters. This plea challenges the court’s ability to adjudicate the dispute based on factors such as the location of the parties, the subject matter of the case, or other legal grounds.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the defendant filed a plea to the jurisdiction, arguing that the court did not have the authority to hear the case due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
