Nul tiel record
NUL TIEL RECORD, pleading. No such record
2. When a party claims to recover on the evidence of a record, as in an
action on scire facias, or when he sets up his defence on matter of record,
as a former acquittal or former recovery, the opposite party may plead or,
reply nul tiel record, there is no such record; in which case the issue thus
raised is called an issue of nul tiel record, and it is tried by the court
by the inspection, of the record. Vide 1 Saund. 92, n. 3 12Vin. Ab.188; 1
