| Braimer v. Innes and Lothian | 1788 | Aliment, Debt, Succession, Interdiction, Trustee, Trust | John Braimer, late of Edrom, as pursuer, petitioned the Court to alter Lord Stonefield's interlocutor, which maintained Braimer's interdiction and declared the trustees not bound to pay over the balance. Gilbert Innes of Stow and John Lothian, merchant in Edinburgh, as defenders, answered the petition, resisting Braimer's claim for reversion and discharge of the interdiction. |
| Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgh v. Brown | 1831 | Servitude, Property, Construction, Interdiction, Expenses, Disposition | The Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgh, as pursuers, raised a summons of demolition and removal against James Brown, the defender, seeking to compel him to demolish structures erected within twenty-five feet of Saint Andrew's Church. Brown answered, arguing that the shed erected on his property did not constitute a "building" as defined in the servitude. He subsequently presented a reclaiming note asking the Court to alter Lord Medwyn's interlocutor regarding the shed's attachment to the Session-House wall. |
