Action
Action, conduct, something done; also the form prescribed by Law for the recovery of one's due, or the lawful demand of one's right. Bracton (Bk. 3, cap. 1) defines it:-Actio nihil aliud est quam jus prosequendi in judicio quod alicui debetur.-(An action is nothing else than the right of suing in a court of justice for that which is due to some one.) Actions are divided into criminal and civil: criminal actions are more properly called prosecutions, and perhaps actions penal, to recover some penalty under statute, are properly criminal actions. There were formerly three classes of actions in England: personal actions, in which the plaintiff sought to recover a debt or damages from the defendant; real actions, in which he sought to establish his title to land or other hereditaments; mixed actions, in which he sought only to establish his right to possession of land. All forms of action are now abolished, but there still inevitably remains the distinction between actions in personam brou...
Public Authorities, Protection of
Public Authorities, Protection of. Very numerous statues have from time to time protected justices of the peace, constables, surveyors of highways, local boards and other public authorities from vexatious actions for things done in pursuance of the Acts. This protection was given by requiring the plaintiff to give notice of action, by compelling him to try the action in the place where the cause of it arose, by requiring him to bring his action within a short limit of time, by enabling defendants to plead the general issue (see GENERAL ISSUE) and to tender amends and by enacting that the plaintiff if unsuccessful should pay double or treble costs. These varying enactments were reduced into one by the Public Authorities Protection Act, 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 61), which applies to common law as well as to statutory duties, to individuals as well as to public authorities, and to acts of omission as well as to acts of commission. This Act provides (1) six months as the limit of time for th...
