Relation

Definition
Relation, where two different times or other things are accounted as one, and by some act done the thing subsequent is said to take effect 'by relation' from the time preceding. Thus letters of administration relate back to the intestate death, and not to the time when they were granted; see Re Pryse, 1904, P. 301; Fosterv. Bates, (1843) 12 M. & W. 226. See FORFEITURE; BANKRUPTCY; TRESPASS.
