| Case | Date | Legal Subject | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Campbell v. Arbuthnott | 1793 | Lease, Rent, Tack, Succession, Homologation, Possession | James Campbell, tenant in Broombank, as pursuer argued that a missive from the Viscount of Arbuthnott dated 1755 did not constitute a valid lease agreement. Based on the single document cataloged for this case. |
| Oliver Melvil v. Mr Robert Arnot, Minister at Ceres | 1782 | Debt, Homologation, Reduction, Bill of Exchange, Legacy, Disposition | While still a minor, acting jointly with his father, pursuer Oliver Melvil granted two bills to defender Robert Arnot. Shortly after reaching the age of majority, Oliver subscribed an account statement between his father and Robert Arnot, which included the bills. Oliver subsequently raised an action to reduce the bills on the ground that he granted them during his minority. Arnot responded that Oliver had ratified the bills by subscribing the account statement. |
