The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922
A presumption of law, which may be rebutted or disproved. Best, Pres. § 25; Burr. Circ. Ev. 47. DISPUTATIO FORI (Lat.) Argument in court. Du Cange. DISRATIONARE (Law Lat.; Law Fr. desreigner).
In old English law. To prove; to deraign; to establish or make good a claim, charge, or accusation. Bracton, fol. 138. Spelman considers this as merely another form of dirationare, and makes its proper signification to be to disprove or refute, from dis, priv, and ratiodnoH, to prove. It is, however, never employed in this sense by Bracton, who uses it frequently, but only in the sense first given. Bracton, fol. 138. See Id. fols. 101b, 119, 372b,
