The decision of a jury. In a civil case, the verdict would be a finding for the plaintiff or for the defendant. It is often found in legal documents to advise that what follows provides more detail about a preceding general statement. An abbreviation of the Latin word videlicet. This is often the case with employers who are held vicariously liable for the damages caused by their employees.
Some contracts have such a latent defect that they are said to be void.
Other have more minor defects to them and are void-able at the option of the party victimized by the defect. For example, contracts signed by a person when they are totally drunk are void-able by that person upon recovering sobriety. A mini-hearing held during a trial on the admissibility of contested evidence. For example, a defendant may object to a plaintiff's witness. The court would suspend the trial, immediately preside over a hearing on the standing of the proposed witness, and then resume the trial with or without the witness, or with any restrictions placed on the testimony by the judge as a result of the voir dire ruling.
