Petition
Petition, a supplication made by an inferior to a superior, having jurisdiction to grant redress.The subject has a right to petition the sovereign, or the two Houses of Parliament, and all commit-ments and prosecutions for such petitioning are declared by the Bill of Rights (see BILL OF RIGHTS) to be illegal.But by 13 Car. 2, st. 1, c. 5, prior in date to the Bill of Rights, it was enacted that not more than twenty names should be signed to a petition to the Crown or either House of Parliament for alteration of matters in Church or State, without the previous approval of the contents by three justices or the majority of a grand jury, and further, that no petition should be presented by a company of more than ten persons.There are several regulations respecting petitions to Parliament, which, if neglected in any one parti-cular, will prevent their reception. For instance, signatures or marks must be original, not copies nor signatures of agents on behalf of others; no chairman of a publ...
Petition de droit (Petition of Right UK)
Petition de droit (Petition of Right UK), one of the Common Law methods of obtaining possession or restitution from the Crown of either real or personal property, or compensation in damages for breach of contract, the Crown not being liable to an ordinary action at the suit of a subject. It is said to owe its origin of Edward I.By the (UK) Petition of Right Act, 1860 (23 & 24 Vict. c. 34) (commonly called Bovill's Act), the procedure on a petition of right is assimilated as far as practic-able to the course of an ordinary action. The fiat of the sovereign 'that right be done' is, however, a necessary preliminary step; this is obtained by leaving the petition with the Home Secretary. A judgment that the suppliant is entitled to the whole or some portion of the relief sought by his petition, or to such other relief as the Court may think right, has the same effect as a judgment of amoveas manus. Costs are made payable both to and by the Crown, and nothing in the Act is to prevent any sup...
upgrade a petition
upgrade a petition If you naturalize (become an American citizen) you may ask the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to change the petitions you filed for family members when you were a lawful permanent resident (LPR) from one category to another. This is called upgrading. For example, a petition for a spouse will be changed/upgraded from F2 to IR1. That is, the petition changes from a preference category with numerical limits to an immediate relative category without numerical limits. The applicant no longer has to wait for her/his priority date to be reached. Upgrading a petition sometimes has consequences. A preference petition for a spouse permits derivative status for children. An immediate relative petition does not. You, the petitioner, would need to file separate petitions for each of your children. Source: Department of State. March 2007. ...

Notice of admit
Notice of admit. The parties to a suit may, by their solicitors, agree to admit at the trial documents and facts; and such agreement often saves trouble and expense, where there is no ground for disputing them.'Either party may call on the other by notice of admit any document saving all just exceptions, and in case of refusal, or neglect to admit, the costs of proving the document shall be paid by the party neglecting or refusing, whatever the result of the cause may be, unless at the hearing or trial the judge shall certify that the refusal was reasonable; and no costs of proving any document are allowed unless notice be given, except where the omission to give the notice is a saving of expense' (R.S.C., Ord. XXXII., r. 2). This rule is frequently acted upon. There is another (rule 4), providing for a notice to admit facts first introduced in 1883, and not so much used....
Tax admitted
Tax admitted, the expression 'tax admitted' in the proviso to s. 9(1) of the U.P. Sales Tax Act, 1948 means that admitted in the memorandum of appeal, s. 9 can be made wholly useless. All that an assessee has to do is not to admit his liability in the memorandum of appeal, whatever his stand might have been before the assessing authority. Ordinarily no interpretation should be placed on a provision which would have the effect of making the provision either otios or a dead letter. Further, to find out the true meaning of the expression 'tax admitted' one must take into consideration the remaining words of the proviso namely 'or such instalments thereof as may become payable'. Those words furnish a key to the interpretation. If one of the conditions for maintainability of the appeal is payment of the instalments which have become payable under r. 41(2), it means that the admission that has got to be taken into consideration is that made before the assessing authority and not before the a...
Letters of request
Letters of request: (1) The mode of commencing an original suit in the Court of Arches, instead of proceeding in the first instance in the Consistory Court. These letters dispense with instituting a suit in an inferior ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and authorize it in the superior Court, otherwise only a Court of Appeal. The judge of the inferior Court waives his jurisdiction, which attaches to the appellate Court, without consent from the intended defendant, 1 Hagg. Eccl. R. 4, note (a).See also (English) Church Discipline Act, 1840 (3 & 4Vict. c. 86), s. 13, by which a bishop may send a case by letters of request to the Court of Appeal to the province.(2) The words 'letters of request' are used with reference to the 'request to examine witnesses in lieu of a commission,' which may be made under R.S.C., Ord. XXXVII., r. (6) (a), to the courts of foreign countries and the Colonies. It is the only method of obtaining evidence in some countries. See notes to the above rule in Annual Pract...
