arrestment

Read a random definition: animo felonico

A quick definition of arrestment:

Arrestment is when someone takes away a person's things or stops them from leaving a place. In some places, it can also mean taking someone's things that are being held by someone else, like a bank, to make sure they pay their debts. Sometimes, it's done to make sure a court has the power to make a decision about a case. It can also mean stopping something from happening.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Arrestment is the act of taking or attaching someone's property to obtain security or to establish jurisdiction. It can also refer to the arrest of a person or personal effects.

  • Postjudgment arrestment: This is when property is seized after a judgment has been made against the debtor to ensure that the creditor can collect the debt.
  • Arrestment on the dependence: This is when property is seized before a judgment has been made to secure payment of a debt from a debtor who is likely to leave the country to avoid paying.
  • Arrestment to found jurisdiction: This is when property is seized to establish legal authority over a debtor who is a foreigner and does not own land in a particular place.

These examples illustrate how arrestment is used in Scots law to help creditors collect debts from debtors who may try to avoid paying. It is a legal process that allows property to be seized to ensure that debts are paid.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
so congratulations on pre xmas waves
