A quick definition of in meditatione fugae:

Term: IN MEDITATIONE FUGAE

Definition: In Scots law, in meditatione fugae means thinking about running away from the country. In the past, if a debtor owed a lot of money and tried to leave the country, they could be arrested and put in jail. This type of arrest warrant is no longer used because people cannot be put in jail for owing money.

A more thorough explanation:

IN MEDITATIONE FUGAE

In meditatione fugae (in med-i-tay-shee-oh-nee f[y]oo-jee) is a Latin term used in Scots law. It means meditating flight or contemplating leaving the country.

Formerly, a debtor could be detained under a fugae warrant if the debtor had sufficient debt to warrant imprisonment and if the debtor was attempting to leave the country. This type of warrant became obsolete when imprisonment for debt was abolished.

Example 1: John owes a large sum of money to his creditors. He is thinking of leaving the country to avoid paying his debts. In this case, John is in meditatione fugae.

Example 2: Mary has a lot of debt, but she has no intention of leaving the country. Therefore, she is not in meditatione fugae.

These examples illustrate how the term in meditatione fugae is used in Scots law to refer to the act of contemplating leaving the country to avoid paying debts. It was used to detain debtors who were attempting to flee the country, but it is no longer in use since imprisonment for debt was abolished.
