Concede: Definition, Example and Related Terms
What does it mean to Concede ?
When you concede in a negotiation or a business discussion, it's like admitting to something or agreeing that something is true, even if you first didn't want to. It's almost like saying Fine, you were right, and I was wrong. In situations related to contract law, it can refer to a point or fact that everyone agrees on, especially during discussions or legal arguments. For instance, assume there is a dispute about a delayed delivery in a business contract. If the party responsible for delivery finally admits that they are indeed late, that's a concession.
