Where a factor takes a bond in his own name for his constituent's money, the jus exigendi continues with his heir; for, should it accresce ipso jure, the factor would be excluded from claiming deduction on account of expense, which yet is certainly competent to him.
Wherefore, a factor having taken bond in his own name, for his constituent's money, in a process at the instance of the heir of the factor against the heir of the debtor, though the Court was of opinion, that the constituent appearing might be preferred, allowing the factor's expense, yet they ‘Repelled the objection proponed by the debtor to the pursuer's title, and found that the pursuer had the jus exigendi, reserving all defences competent against the constituent.’
