What does proceedings terminated mean in court proceedings?

In: Legal Definitions [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is difficult to determine from a short notation on a legal or court document what the intention of the notation may have been. However - it MIGHT mean that whatever was taking place in court at that time regarding the case in question, was ended for one reaon or another. The fact that the notation does NOT say that the proceedings were dismissed, means that it (whatever "it" is) is still active. OR - not.
