/ˈvɛərɪəns/ – noun
Definition: 1. sự xích mích, mối bất hòa;
2. sự khác biệt ý kiến.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “variance” refers to a formal request made to a court or administrative body seeking permission to deviate from a specific legal requirement or regulation. This deviation may be necessary due to unique circumstances or hardships faced by the individual or entity making the request. The granting of a variance allows for flexibility in applying the law while still ensuring fairness and justice.
Example: The court granted the defendant’s motion to dismiss the case due to a lack of evidence supporting the plaintiff’s claim of a material variance between the contract terms and the actual services provided.
