ASSUMPSIT (" he has undertaken," from Lat. assumere)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 787 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ASSUMPSIT (" he has undertaken," from Lat. assumere) , a word applied to an action for the recovery of
damages
  by reason of the breach or non-performance of a simple
contract
 , either
express
  or implied, and whether made orally or in
writing
 .
Assumpsit
  was the word always used in pleadings by the
plaintiff
  to set forth the
defendant
 's undertaking or promise, hence the name of the action. Claims in actions of
assumpsit
  were ordinarily divided into (a) common or indebitatus assumpsit, brought usually on an implied promise, and (b) '
special
  assumpsit, founded on an
express
  promise. Assumpsit as a form of action became obsolete after the passing of the Judicature Acts 1873 and 1875. (See further
CONTRACT
 ; PLEADING and TORT.)
