Jaffray v. Givan 1802 Non compos, Curator Bonis When Friskin's father died, Robert Givan, Friskin’s relative on his mother’s side, took the management of Mr. Friskin’s affairs and properties. Then, Henry Swan was nominated curator bonis. After many years, Mr. Jaffray, his sisters and others brought this action to be appointed Mr. Friskin’s tutor at law stating that they were the nearest relations of Friskin's father. Defenders opposed Mr. Jaffray’s petition and supported the appointment of Mr. Swan.
