Controverted

The prosecution has not controverted by way of evidence, the state or medical condition of the defendant as at May 16 when this medical report was issued.

The significance of this clause, however, is extremely ambiguous, and the issues it raised would be seriously controverted in the future.

The sole reason Charles I assembled Parliament in November, 1640 was to ask it to pass finance bills, since the controverted taxation of ship money was unpopular, and since the Bishops' Wars had bankrupted him.
