CONCESSIT. Lat. (I have granted — he has granted; from concedere, to grant.) Words anciently of frequent use in conveyances, being the emphatic and essential words in grants, properly so called; and formerly held to amount to a covenant in law. Co. Litt. 384 a. See Concessio, Dedi et concessit, Grant. Bracton, in commenting on the word concessit says it imports consent, (quod donationi consensum praebuit, quia non multum differt dicere concessi, quam dicere consensi;) there being not much difference between saying concessi and consensi, (I have consented.) Bract. fol. 34 b. Concessimus (we have granted) is prominently used in the commencement of Magna Charta, c. 1.
