adjournment
意味: The act of suspending or postponing a meeting, court hearing, or parliamentary session to be resumed at a later time or date.
In British law, an adjournment may be granted by a judge to allow more time for preparation, to await further evidence, or to accommodate the availability of witnesses. In Parliament, an adjournment debate is a short debate held before the House rises, often used by backbenchers to raise constituency matters. The term carries a formal, procedural tone and is standard in court transcripts and parliamentary records. It collocates with 'debate,' 'hearing,' 'motion,' 'sine die,' and 'court.'
