Read a random definition: provisional seizure

A quick definition of forthcoming:

Term: FORTHCOMING

Definition: In Scottish law, forthcoming refers to a legal action that allows a creditor to seize the property of a debtor who owes them money. This action can be completed by either directing the debtor to pay the owed amount or by delivering the seized goods to the creditor.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In Scots law, forthcoming refers to:

  1. An action that allows an arrester to make an arrestment.
  2. An order that finalizes an arrestment by instructing a debtor to either pay the owed money or hand over the arrested goods to the creditor.

Examples:

  • John owes money to Jane. Jane decides to take legal action and initiates a forthcoming action, which allows her to arrest John's bank account.
  • After the arrestment, the court issues a forthcoming order, directing John to pay the owed money to Jane within a specified time frame.

The examples illustrate how forthcoming is used in Scots law to enable creditors to recover their debts by arresting the debtor's assets. The forthcoming action and order provide a legal framework for the arrestment process and ensure that the debtor complies with the court's instructions.
