In an action of improbation, a reply is proponed for sustaining of the pursuer's interest, and a day assigned for proving the same; after which the defender passes from his compearance. His party alleged, That now, litiscontestation being made, he cannot pass from his compearance. To the which it was answered, That this proving of his interest was no litiscontestation in the cause; and that he might as well pass from his compearance now, as if his interest had been produced in initio litis. The Lords found, He might pass from his compearance.
