- Driven — Having been set in motion, triggered, or coordinated by an external force, mechanism, or motor; also, in a legal sense, it designates a person summoned to court in a lawsuit. This versatile term reflects either the state of an energetically activated technical system or the status of a legal entity against which a civil or commercial action has been initiated.
- Addendum — A supplementary act or element added to a pre-existing text, contract, treaty, or legal structure to complete, modify, or extend it; in a technical or general sense, it represents the addition of a part or a substance into an assembly, often functioning as a specialized synonym for addition.
- To amnesty — To grant amnesty to a person or a group of persons; to remove through a legal act of the legislative power the criminal liability for a committed offense, the consequences of the conviction, or the execution of the sentence. This public act of clemency symbolically and legally erases the criminal record for the targeted acts, restoring the person's prior rights.
- Amnestiable — Fulfilling the legal conditions to benefit from an amnesty; a person, act, or sentence that falls within the criteria established by a clemency law adopted by Parliament. In a procedural context, it describes criminal elements susceptible to being annulled or erased through the direct effect of amnesty.
- Amnestying — Having the power, faculty, or quality of granting amnesty; a statutory act, decree, or sovereign political authority that produces the legal effects of an amnesty. In legal theory, it describes the specific character of a clemency law that extinguishes criminal action and symbolically annuls the execution of sentences set by courts.
- Amnestied — The feminine form of amnistiat; a woman or female person who has benefited from the legal effects of a law or decree of amnesty. In an adjectival sense, it describes a crime, a sentence, or a feminine legal entity whose liabilities or sanctions have been annulled by the legislative power.
- To insure — An archaic and regional form for the verb 'a asigura' (to insure / to assure / to secure); the act of guaranteeing a material value, a property, or a person's life through a contract or a firm commitment; to shelter from risks. In old Transylvanian legal language, the structural term also indicated providing written proof, a bail, or guaranteeing full safety before county authorities.
- Challengeability — The quality or character of being challengeable; the legal or theoretical possibility to contest, invalidate, or annul a legal act, an administrative decision, or a court ruling due to formal or substantive flaws. This concept defines the degree of legal vulnerability of an official document before courts of appeal or contentious administrative courts.
- Administrative self-redress — The power or recognized right of a person or a public authority to protect, preserve, or restore through their own means their legal interests or administrative decisions, without preventatively resorting to court intervention; the principle by which the administration can revoke or modify its own illegal or inopportune acts.
