A Dictionary of Law
Lat. In thecivillaw. Carelessness; inattention; the omission of proper care or forethought. The terim is not exactly equivalent to our “negligence,” inasmuch as it was not any neyligentia, but only a high or gross degree of it, that amounted to eulpa, (actionable or punishable fault.) Negligentia semper habet infortunium une for a companion.
Co. Litt. 2468; Shep. Touch, 476.
