In the ranking of the Creditors of Skelbo, Alexander-James Urant, then an infant, and his tutor, presented a claim, which was rejected by the Lord Ordinary; and, before the days appointed for representing had elapsed, the tutor died.
More than two years afterwards, Mr Grant and a new tutor having for the first time offered a representation, the Lord Ordinary found, “That he was barred from insisting in his present claim, by a final interlocutor.”
Upon advising a reclaiming petition for Mr Grant, with answers for the Creditors,
The Lords found, “That there was no res Judicata; and remitted to the Lord Ordinary to proceed accordingly.”
