INTERDICTION , in Scots See also:law, a See also:process of See also:restraint applied to prodigals and others who, " from weakness, facility or profusion, are liable to See also:imposition." It is either voluntary or judicial. Voluntary interdiction is effected by the prodigal himself, who executes a See also:bond obliging himself to do no See also:deed which may affect his See also:estate without the assent of certain persons called the " interdictors." This may be removed by the See also:court of session, by the See also:joint See also:act of the interdictors and the interdicted, and by the number of interdictors being reduced below the number constituting a See also:quorum. Judicial interdiction is imposed by See also:order of the court, either moved by an interested party or acting in the exercise of its nobile officium, and can only be removed by a simi'ar order. Deeds done by the interdicted See also:person, so far as they affect or purport to affect his heritable estate, are reducible, unless they have been done with theconsent of the interdictors. Interdiction has no effect, however, on movable prope ty. End of Article: INTERDICTIONAdditional information and CommentsThere are no comments yet for this article.
