A quick definition of journeys accounts:
Term: JOURNEYS ACCOUNTS
Definition: Journeys accounts were used in the past to determine the number of days (usually 15) after a legal document was no longer valid, within which a new legal document could be obtained. This time period was based on how long it would take for the person who needed the new document to travel to the court.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Journeys accounts were used in the past to determine the number of days (usually 15) after a writ was abated, within which a new writ could be obtained. This number was based on how long it took for the plaintiff to travel (or journey) to the court.
Example: Let's say a plaintiff filed a writ in court, but it was abated (dismissed) for some reason. The plaintiff would then have a certain number of days, based on their distance from the court, to obtain a new writ and file it again.
Explanation: Journeys accounts were used to ensure that plaintiffs had enough time to travel to the court and file a new writ if their first one was dismissed. The number of days allowed was based on how long it would take for them to make the journey. This helped to ensure that plaintiffs were not unfairly penalized for factors outside of their control, such as distance from the court.
