Subordinate; aiding. A legal proceeding that is not the primary dispute but which aids the judgment rendered in or the outcome of the main action. A descriptive term that denotes a legal claim, the existence of which is dependent upon or reasonably linked to a main claim. For example, a plaintiff wins a judgment for a specified sum of money against a defendant in a Negligence action. The defendant refuses to pay the judgment. The plaintiff begins another proceeding for a writ of attachment so that the judgment will be satisfied by the sale of the defendant's property seized under the writ. The attachment proceeding is ancillary, or subordinate, to the negligence suit. An ancillary proceeding is sometimes called an ancillary suit or bill. A claim for Alimony is an ancillary claim dependent upon the primary claim that there are sufficient legal grounds for a court to grant a Divorce. ANCILLARY. That which is subordinate on, or is. subordinate to, some other decision. Encyc. Lond. 1 |

Ancillaries really became the engine that was driving the
company," David said. All will have standard variable
intake valve timing, a volume flow-controlled oil pump, individual
ignition coils, composite camshafts, an on-demand mechanical coolant
pump, a single belt to drive engine ancillaries, an aluminum block with
grey-cast iron liners, two-piece bedplate construction (like BMW's
new V10), and roller-type valve actuators. Prism's complete line of 16, 24 and 36 mm
compounding systems is said to meet the most demanding requirements with
such features as quick-release screws for easy configuration changes and
a complete range of ancillaries, including all feeder types, liquid
injections, strand dies, sheet dies, blown film units and more. |
