Non Omittas - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition non-omittas

Definition :

Non omittas, the clause 'that you omit not by reason of any liberty in your bailiwick,' which is usually inserted in all processes addressed to sheriffs, which makes the liberty pro hac vice parcel of the sheriff's bailiwick, and the sheriff must enter and execute the writ within the liberty.

If a writ do not contain a non omittas clause, the sheriff directs his mandate either to the lord or the bailiff of the liberty, by whom the writ is executed and returned.
