OUTCOURT Meaning and
Definition
-
Outcourt, noun:
1. (Law) A court that operates outside the jurisdiction of the normal legal system or a court that exists outside the traditional court system. This can include arbitration or mediation processes that aim to resolve disputes without resorting to formal legal proceedings. Outcourts may offer a less formal and more flexible approach to conflict resolution, often allowing parties to negotiate and reach agreements with the assistance of a neutral third party. Such courts are commonly used in commercial or family law matters, where parties may prefer a quicker and more private alternative to resolving their disputes.
2. (Sports) A term predominantly used in tennis and badminton to describe shots or actions that take place outside of the main playing area. It refers to any shot that is played wide beyond the sidelines, resulting in the ball or shuttlecock being considered out of bounds. Outcourt shots are typically considered faults and result in the opposing player being awarded a point. These shots may occur due to inaccurate aiming, lack of control, or an intentional strategy to force the opponent into making an error or positioning themselves disadvantageously on the court.
In both legal and sports contexts, the term "outcourt" denotes actions that fall outside the principal area of operation, whether it be the traditional judicial system or the designated playing area in sports.
