INHIBITION (from See also:Lat. inhibere, to restrain, prevent) , an See also:act of See also:restraint or See also:prohibition, an See also:English legal See also:term, particularly used in ecclesiastical See also:law, for a See also:writ from a See also:superior to an inferior See also:court, suspending proceedings in a See also:case under See also:appeal, also for the suspension of a See also:jurisdiction of a See also:bishop's court on the visitation of an See also:archbishop, and for that of an See also:archdeacon on the visitation of a bishop. It is more particularly applied to a See also:form of ecclesiastical censure, suspending an offending clergyman from the performance of any service of the See also:Church, or other spiritual See also:duty, for the purpose of enforcing obedience to a See also:monition or See also:order of the bishop or See also:judge. Such inhibitions are at the discretion of the See also:ordinary if he considers that See also:scandal might arise from the performance of spiritual duties by the offender (Church Discipline Act 186o, re-enacted by the See also:Clergy Discipline Act 1892, See also:sect. 1o). By the See also:Sequestration Act 1871, sect. 5, similar See also:powers of inhibition are given where a sequestration remains in force for more than six months, and also, by the Benefices Act 1898, in cases where a See also:commission reports that the ecclesiastical duties of a See also:benefice are inadequately performed through the See also:negligence of the See also:incumbent.
