A citation, even if it is a species of defense, and if omitted makes the judgment void, is sometimes not interposed without any fear of nullity.
Regarding the remission of an oath, which opens the way to judgments, or as our people speak, is done for the relaxation of acting; to the question of whether it desires a citation of the party to whom the oath was sworn, I answer negatively; not unaware that the contrary is commonly received in practice.
The presentation of the libel, and likewise the contestation of the suit, is necessary in a feudal case, no less than in any other that is not summary.
The sentence follows the conclusion of the case, which, if it relies on illicit or forbidden proofs, such as glowing iron, immersion in water, and similar things, is null.
Mandates which are decreed in the Imperial Chamber without a clause do not regularly cause a suit to be pending. Whence it is that he who, with the partition shown, acts in the name of the one for whom the Mandate was obtained and complied with, is not said to attempt or innovate. Therefore, an Inhibition is not to be decreed concerning that matter; nothing is to be revoked like an attentatum illegal act during a pending lawsuit, but one must supplicate again for the Mandate in the previous manner.
