Synopsis

A Practical And Elementary Abridgment Of The Cases Argued And Determined In The Courts Of King's Bench, Common Pleas, Exchequer, And At Nisi Prius: And Of The Rules Of Court, From The Restoration In 10, To Michaelmas Term, 4 Geo. IV. With Important Manuscript Cases, Alphabetically, by Charles Erdman Petersdorff. This 1830 legal reference compiles and analyzes English case law on composing debts with creditors and related court procedures, blending doctrinal exposition with extensive citations. It surveys the general nature of composition with creditors, the assent of creditors, the necessary forbearance or other consideration, the construction and effect of the deed, and the circumstances under which a deed can be avoided or set aside. It discusses fraudulent preferences, the mode of taking advantage of the deed, deeds of inspection and letters of licence, and the involvement of trustees and sureties. The work also treats compositions connected with bankruptcy and the stamp duties and formalities for multi-creditor transactions. Citations to Lowe V Eginton, Fitch V Sutton, Cockshott V Bennett, Stock V Mawson, Leicester V Rose, and Heathcote V Crookshanks illustrate how assent, consideration, fraud, and binding effect are treated in these rules. The volume includes front matter, a table of contents, an index-like list of cases, and begins substantive discussion of composition and related topics.
