Legal Subject: Heirship Moveables |
| Case | Date | Legal Subject | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brown v. Brown | 1787 | Succession, Aliment, Heirship Moveables, Debt, Trust, Heritor | Jean Brown petitioned to alter an interlocutor that had ordered her to return a gold watch and gowns to Janet Brown, relict of George Baird, contending that the items were not marital property. Janet Brown answered, defending her claims of inheritance and possession of the heirship-moveables in dispute. |
| David Hepburn v. William Skirving | 1792 | Debt, Aliment, Succession, Tack, Heirship Moveables, Creditor | David Hepburn, farmer in Pleasance, pursued William Skirving, farmer in Kedlaw, regarding claims for sheep balance, heirship moveables, and disputed debts. After Lord Dreghorn pronounced an interlocutor in the cause, Skirving petitioned the Court to alter that order, prompting Hepburn to lodge answers resisting the petition and adhering to his original claims. |
| John Smith v. Marion Wilson, and Others | 1791 | Succession, Aliment, Heirship Moveables, Heritor, Sasine, Recompence | John Smith petitioned the Court of Session to alter an interlocutor pronounced by the Lord Justice Clerk regarding a garden at Muirend. Marion Wilson, wife of Robert Mann, and others answered, asserting that the garden was not a præcipuum and thus not entitled to exclusive claim by the eldest sister. The litigation turned on whether the property constituted a præcipuum subject to the eldest sister's exclusive right. |
