A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “slip” refers to a clerical error or mistake made in a court decision, judgment, or order. It may involve a typographical error, a misstatement of fact, or an oversight in the legal reasoning. When a slip is identified, it can be corrected through a formal process known as a slip rule application, which allows the court to amend the error without the need for a full appeal or re-hearing of the case.
Example: During the trial, the lawyer argued that the slip of the witness’s memory was a minor issue that did not affect the credibility of their testimony.
