In D. Aldous gave a sufficient condition for the tightness of a sequence (Xn)n≥0 of right continuous (with left limits) processes taking their values in a separable complete metric space S. As already noted by Aldous this condition is far from being necessary when the processes Xn are not continuous. More precisely the Aldous-condition implies the left-quasi-continuity of all the weak limits of the sequence (Xn)n≥0.
