Farran v Beresford: HL 30 Aug 1843

The House considered the nature of scire facias, and in particular whether scire facias created a new right, or whether it only operated as a continuation of the original judgment. ‘The present right to receive the same’ was understood by Tindal LCJ, in an opinion adopted by the House of Lords, as ‘an immediate right without waiting for the happening of any future event’.
