About this title

Synopsis

A General Abridgement Of Law And Equity: Alphabetically Digested Under Proper Titles; With Notes And References To The Whole by Charles Viner. This compact digest surveys English common-law and equity governing the statute of limitations and related doctrines, explaining how time limits interact with various claims, defenses, and remedies, and how equity may affect or defeat those limits. It catalogues topics from evidence and prima facie proof in publishing libel and licences to comprehensive limitations across real and personal actions; the interaction of possession, acknowledgments, bankruptcies, infant and coverture status, trusts, and maritime practice with relief against limitations; as well as specialized areas such as guardianship, lunacy, marriage settlements, settlements and securities, pleadings, and precedents. The work is structured as a dense table-of-contents with cross-references, followed by digest-style notes and caselists, drawing on 18th-century statutes and leading authorities across real property, debts, fiduciary arrangements, and maritime commerce. It is a reference for lawyers, judges, and students dealing with time-bounded claims in law and equity.
