I genuinely don’t understand what a technicality is, and I really want to know.
In: 1
IANAL!
A technicality is a point of law, normally procedure, that causes the case to go one way or another.
Example: If you are fired for a protected reason (religion, gender, etc), you may have 90 days to file in state court to start the process. If you waited 91 days, the suit, even if it were valid, would be dismissed due a technicality.
Another:
You are pulled over for speeding. The police officer got you with radar doing 20 MPH over the limit, but he was supposed to have his radar gun inspected every 30 days. He last had it inspected 35 days ago. Case dismissed!
