arguable case


Explanation:
1. An application for initial permission should be made to the High Court, which will only grant permission if there is an arguable case and the applicant has not unduly delayed in seeking permission. (See: http://www.elc.org.uk/pages/lawukjudicial review.htm)

2. The judge held that there was an arguable case of libel. (See: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/arguab...

3. In your second example, the word 'arguable' also has a legal meaning not covered by your definitions:- cases are argued in court. Here, an arguable case is a shortened form of the formal legalese, 'a good arguable case', meaning, a case with enough scope within the legal/constitutional framework to be admitted for a hearing in court. The reporter might have verified with a legal expert that the appellants' case is arguable in the Appellate Court under the applicable/relevant laws, or gathered the story at a press conference called by a lawyer.

agree  Nadia-Anastasia Fahmi: So what? I am entitled to an opinion even after the fact and I am stating it :-) // I hope you are not being sarcastic.// (a) I not 100% Greek and I can assure you my humour is quite international. The smile probably lost its meaning in my reply :-)

  -> I was not being sarcastic at all. I was trying to be polite whilst expressing humour. I forgot that English humour is different from Greek humour. Please take my word for it that I had absolutely no intention of being sarcastic.

The Legal term is, on second thought:
Myself, would translate the sentence as follows.......

<It is incumbent on the plaintif to prove that THERE IS A CASE TO ANSWER>

Ignore 'cause to discuss', please.
