brieve Scotch Law.|briːv|
Also 7 breive, briefe, brife.
[Another form of brief n.]
A writ or precept issued from Chancery in the Sovereign's name, directing trial to be made of certain points specified.
Before the institution of the Court of Session (1532) a breve or brieve was the prescribed form of Summons issued for any cause; afterwards it was limited to the (Latin) Writ from Chancery addressed to the Judge Ordinary or Sheriff for trial by him and a jury of special questions in which the Court of Session had no original jurisdiction. These Brieves have all fallen into desuetude or been abolished by statute, except in one or two cases (e.g. in the appointment of a tutor-at-law to a minor), where also other forms of proceeding are now usually preferred.
