Capias Utlagatum

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Capias utlagatum (that you take the out law). This writ is either general, against the person only; or special, against the person, lands, and goods. Outlawry is abolished in civil proceedings; but survives (though long practically disused) for criminal purposes, and a form of the writ (No. 62) may be found in the Appendix to the Crown Office Rules of 1906, which also (by Rules 88-110) provide for procedure to outlawry and in reversal of outlawry.

Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
