/tə əˈplaɪ fɔr əˈdʒɜːnmənt/ – Phrase
Definition: xin hoãn (xét xử)
A more thorough explanation: “To apply for adjournment” in legal terms means to formally request a postponement or delay of a scheduled court proceeding or hearing to a later date. This request is typically made by one of the parties involved in the case, and it is up to the judge or presiding officer to decide whether to grant the adjournment based on the reasons provided and the circumstances of the case.
Example: The defense attorney requested an adjournment of the trial in order to gather additional evidence.
