|
BarratryCrimes. In old law French barat, baraterie, signifying robbery, deceit, fraud. In modern usage it may be defined as the habitual moving, exciting, and maintaining suits and quarrels, either at law or otherwise.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Robbery
Crimes. The felonious and forcible taking from the person of another, goods or money to any value, by violence or putting him in fear.
Deceit
Any devise or false representation by which one man misleads another to his injury. Formerly, the remedy was a "writ of deceit"; now, unless otherwise provided by statute, it is by an "action of trespass on the case". The defendant or his agent must have been guilty of some moral wrong; legal fraud alone will not support the action.
Fraud
Contracts, torts. Any trick or artifice employed by one person to induce another to fall into an error, or to detain him in it, so that he may make an agreement contrary to his interest. The fraud may consist either, first, in the misrepresentation, or, secondly, in the concealment of a material fact. Fraud, force and vexation, are odious in law.
Usage
Long and uniform practice. In its most extensive meaning this term includes custom and prescription, though it differs from them in a narrower sense, it is applied to the habits, modes, and course of dealing which are observed in trade generally, as to all mercantile transactions, or to some particular branches of trade.
