        {
          term: 'Without prejudice',
          short: 'A protected offer made to settle, it cannot be used against you later in court.',
          explanation:
            'When we mark a letter or conversation “without prejudice”, we are trying to settle the dispute. What is said under that cover generally cannot be shown to a judge as evidence of admission or weakness. It lets both sides speak candidly about compromise.',
          example:
            'We make a without-prejudice offer of $180,000 to settle a claim. If talks fail, that figure stays off the court record.',
        },
        {
          term: 'Discovery',
          short: 'The formal exchange of documents and information each side must produce.',
          explanation:
            'Discovery is the process by which parties list and exchange documents relevant to the issues. It is not optional theatre, courts expect full, honest disclosure. We review what must go out and what the other side must give us.',
          example:
            'In a contract dispute, discovery may include emails, board minutes, and draft agreements from the negotiation period.',
        },
        {
          term: 'Indemnity',
          short: 'A promise to cover someone else’s loss if a specified risk eventuates.',
          explanation:
            'An indemnity shifts financial risk. If the named event happens, the indemnifying party pays the other’s loss. The wording of the clause, what it covers, what it excludes, and for how long, is where the real work sits.',
          example:
            'A supplier indemnifies a retailer against claims that the product infringes a third party’s patent.',
        },
        {
          term: 'Limitation period',
          short: 'The deadline by which a claim must be started, or the right is usually lost.',
          explanation:
            'Most claims have a statutory clock. Once it expires, the court will generally refuse to hear the case, even if the underlying complaint is strong. Knowing when the clock started, and whether it has been paused, is essential early advice.',
          example:
            'A claim for breach of a simple contract may need to be filed within six years of the breach, depending on the jurisdiction.',
        },
        {
          term: 'Privilege',
          short: 'Legal protection that keeps certain communications confidential from the other side.',
          explanation:
            'Legal professional privilege protects confidential communications made for the dominant purpose of obtaining legal advice or for litigation. It is a right of the client, not the lawyer, and it can be waived by careless disclosure.',
          example:
            'Your email to us seeking advice on a draft contract is privileged; forwarding that email to a counterparty may waive the protection.',
        },
        {
          term: 'Undertaking',
          short: 'A solemn promise to the court or to another party, breaking it has serious consequences.',
          explanation:
            'An undertaking is not a casual assurance. Given to a court, it can be enforced as if it were an order. Given between parties, it still carries professional and commercial weight. We never offer one lightly.',
          example:
            'A party undertakes not to dispose of assets pending the hearing of an injunction application.',
