In the reduction of a disposition of tailzie, with a conclusion of declarator, pursued against the apparent heir of tailzie ex capite inhibitionis, executed against the defunct before the disposition; the defender alleged no process, because the annus deliberandi was yet current.
Answered; That such processes having no personal conclusion, may be insisted in within the year of deliberation; and the defender could have no prejudice by a simple reduction of the right, which he might take off by purging the inhibition.
Replied; It is unreasonable to pursue an apparent heir intra annum deliberandi; for that he may have competent defences, which he dares not propone for fear of incurring a behaviour, which would cut off the benefit of deliberation.
The Lords found the defender's allegeance and reply relevant to sist the process against him till expiring of the annus deliberandi; and that the summons bearing the day of compearance within the year, could not be insisted in after the year.
