Profert In Curi'

Profert in curi' (he produces in court). Where either party alleged any deed, he was generally obliged, by a rule of pleading, to make profert of such deed; that is, to produce it in Court simultaneously with the pleading in which it was alleged. This, in the days of oral pleading, was of course an actual production in court. Since then it consisted of a formal allegation that he showed the deed in Court, it being, in fact, retained in his own custody. See OYER. Abolished by C.L.P. Act, 1852, s. 55.
