Answer 1

most often it means [to a jury if granted by the judge] they are to ignore the particular &#039;event&#039; in question... such as someone blurting something out durring questioning that could be detreimental to the case.... move to strike in this instance would be a request for the judge to order the &#039;event&#039; to be ignored by anyone and everyone involved.

Answer 2

motion to strike n. a request for a judge&#039;s order to eliminate all or a portion of the legal pleading (complaint, answer) of the opposition on any one of several grounds. It is often used in an attempt to have an entire cause of action removed (&quot;stricken&quot;) from the court record. A motion to strike is also made orally during trial to ask the judge to order &quot;stricken&quot; answers by a witness in violation of rules of evidence (laws covering what is admissible in trial). Even though the jury is admonished to ignore such an answer or some comment, the jury has heard it, and &quot;a bell once rung, cannot be unrung.&quot;
