Case Date Legal Subject Abstract
Campbells v. Macneil 1798 Debt, Prescription, Execution, Bankruptcy, Oath, Citation Colin Campbell and Duncan Campbell junior, as trustees on the sequestrated estate of Alexander M'Corquodale, pursued John Macneil of Gigha to alter an interlocutor of Lord Armadale regarding an account libelled against him. Macneil answered, pleading that the account was prescribed and the execution false. The parties thereafter debated the proper interpretation of Macneil's oath and the validity of the citation.
Common Agent v. Corrie 1794 Adjudication, Interlocutor, Execution, Personal Objection, Courts, Expenses Common Agent petitioned the court, arguing that Corrie's decree of cognition was void because it had not been properly notified. Based on the single document cataloged for this case.
Elliot v. Romanis 1790 Bill of Exchange, Execution, Debt, Prescription, Creditor, Diligence Helen Elliot pursued Robert Romanis, a Lauder writer, for loss resulting from an officer’s conduct and the negligence of others. Romanis petitioned to alter the court’s interlocutor to deny liability, and subsequently raised an action against John GrahamsLie. GrahamsLie petitioned to be assoilzied from that action, and Romanis answered that his own liability arose from his own omission rather than GrahamsLie’s conduct, noting that the execution had been obtained by others.
Thomson v. Paterson 1781 Debt, Witness, Execution, Inhibition, Reduction, Creditor Thomson challenged the validity of an inhibition execution by Paterson, arguing that the execution's failure to state that witnesses were present at the time of execution rendered it void. Adam Ogilvie subsequently presented information advancing similar arguments that the respondent's inhibition execution lacked legal validity due to the absence of witness attestation to their presence. The dispute turned on whether this procedural defect invalidated the inhibition.
