<h1>Legal definition of 'substantial' means real worth and material importance, not merely nominal value</h1> The word 'substantial' in legal terminology refers to something of real worth, importance, and considerable value that actually exists rather than being merely nominal or imaginary. Legal dictionaries define it as belonging to substance, being solid, true, and material. 'Substantially' means essentially, in substance, or materially without material qualification. The term signifies varying degrees depending on context and is not synonymous with 'dominant' or 'majority' but rather closer to 'material,' 'important,' or 'of considerable value.' Both words indicate something worthwhile as distinguished from something without value, having solid worth, real significance, and effective force.
