How to use "In substantial" in context?
There is much debate surrounding what comprises substantiality, with some arguing that a certain amount of damage is necessary in order for something to be substantial. Others say that anything that substantially interferes with the plaintiff's normal daily life is enough to meet that standard.
In any case, the key to determining substantiality generally resides with the jury, as it is up to them to determine what is reasonable in the given situation. Cases dealing with property damage, for instance, often hinge on how much of a loss the plaintiff has endured.
