IRREGULARITY A defect failure or mistake in a legal proceeding or lawsuit a departure from a prescribed rule or regulation. An irregularity is not an unlawful act however in certain instances it is sufficiently serious to render a lawsuit invalid. For example a number of states have statutes that require the appointment of a guardian to represent the interests of a child who is being sued. The failure to do so is an irregularity that can be used as a ground for invalidating and setting aside a judgment entered against the child. in other cases however the flaw might be a simple harmless error that can be easily rectified and therefore does not render the proceeding invalid. IRRELEVANT Unrelated or inapplicable to the matter in issue. irrelevant evidence has no tendency to prove or disprove any contested fact in a lawsuit. IRREPARABLE INJURY Any harm or loss that is not easily repaired restored or compensated by monetary damages. A serious wrong generally of a repeated and continuing nature that has an equitable remedy of injunctive relief. IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE A test applied in a criminal prosecution to determine whether a person accused of a crime was compelled by a mental disease to commit it and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible for her or his actions in a wrongful death case a compulsion to commit suicide created by the defendant. In most jurisdictions a person may defend criminal charges on a ground of insanity. The insanity defense comes in two main forms. First a defendant may argue that because of mental disease or defect he or she lacked the capacity to distinguish right from wrong. This is cognitive insanity. second a defendant may argue that because of mental disease or defect she or he was unable to act .
