Action Prejudicial
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Action prejudicial, otherwise called preparatory or principal, an action arising from some preliminary doubt, as in case a man sue his younger brother for lands descended from the father, and it is objected against him that he is bastard, this point of bastardy must be tried before the cause can proceed. It is, therefore, termed pr'judicialis.
Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
