Sealed presentment in legal terminology refers to the process by which a party submits a document, usually a complaint or petition, to a court in a sealed envelope. This method is often used to protect sensitive information or maintain confidentiality, preventing unauthorized access to the contents until the court decides to unseal it. Sealed presentments are typically associated with cases involving minors, sensitive personal information, or national security issues. The court then determines whether to accept or reject the sealed document based on its merits and the relevant legal standards.

The first syllable, "pres," is accented in the word "presentment."

Legal English does incorporate some Greek terminology, particularly in the context of legal philosophy and concepts, such as "demos" (people) and "kratos" (power). However, it primarily derives from Latin and Norman French influences due to historical factors in the development of the English legal system. While Greek terms may appear in specific legal contexts, they are not a predominant feature of Legal English. Overall, the reliance on Greek terminology is minimal compared to other languages.
In LEGAL terminology the words "breach or breached" mean broken or violated.
