Term: DE ASSISA PROROGANDA
Definition: De assisa proroganda was a legal order given to judges to delay a trial because one of the parties was busy working for the government. This writ was used in the past and is not commonly used today.
De assisa proroganda is a legal term that means "of the proroguing of an assize." It refers to a writ that orders justices to postpone an assize because a party is busy in the Crown's service.
For example, if a person is called to serve in the military during a trial, they can request a de assisa proroganda writ to postpone the trial until they are available to attend.
Another example is if a key witness in a trial is unable to attend due to illness, a de assisa proroganda writ may be requested to postpone the trial until the witness is able to testify.
These examples illustrate how a de assisa proroganda writ can be used to postpone a trial or assize due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties involved.
