Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book contains various decisions by the House of Lords on Scottish appeals between 1784-1785. At the time, Scottish legal jurisdiction was robust, with criminal proceedings having the same right to appeal as civil suits to the House of Lords. This book provides insight into the type of legal disputes common during this era. Furthermore, it contains examples of arguments used in court to challenge decisions, showing not only the legal precedent that caused past judgments, but also the potential arguments that might succeed in overturning them. This book will not only interest legal scholars but also persons interested in the economic and social history of 18th century Scotland.
