CITATION (Lat. citare, to cite)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 395 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CITATION (Lat. citare, to cite) , in law, a
summons
  to appear, more particularly applied in England to process in the probate and divorce division of the high court. In the ecclesiastical courts, citation was .a method of commencing a probate suit, answering to a writ of
summons
  at common law, and it is now in English probate practice an
instrument
  issuing from the
principal
  probate registry, chiefly used when a person, having the superior right to take a grant, delays or declines to do so, and another having an inferior right desires to obtain a grant; the party having the prior right is cited to appear and either to renounce the grant or show cause why it should not be decreed to the citator. In divorce practice, when a petitioner has filed his
petition
  and
affidavit
 , he extracts a citation, i.e. a command
drawn
  in the name of the sovereign and signed by one of the registrars of the court, calling upon the alleged offender to appear and make answer to the
petition
 . In Scots law, citation is used in the sense of a writ of summons. The word in its more general literary sense means the act of quoting, or the referring to an authority in support of an argument.
C!TEAUX, a
village
  of eastern France, in the department of Cote d'Or, 16 m. S.S.E. of Dijon by road. It is celebrated for the
great
  abbey founded by Robert, abbot of Molesme, in ro98, which became the headquarters of the Cistercian order. The buildings which remain date chiefly from the 18th century and are of little
interest
 . The church, destroyed in 1792, used to contain the tombs of the earlier dukes of
Burgundy
 .
