adverse rulings

An adverse ruling occurs when a judge or decision-maker rules against one side in a legal case or dispute. It typically means that the court has decided against the position or evidence presented by that party, which can affect the outcome of the case. Such rulings can relate to objections to evidence, motions, or legal arguments, and often influence the course or resolution of the case. While they may feel unfavorable to the party, adverse rulings are part of the legal process and help the court ensure fair and proper proceedings based on the law.
