"Legal proceedings which are instituted by the attorney general (or other proper person) in the name and behalf of the state, but on the information and at the instigation of an individual who has a private interest in the matter, are said to be taken 'on the relation' (ex relatione) of such person, who is called the 'relator.' Such a cause is usually entitled thus: 'State ex rel. Doe v. Roe.' "In the books of reports, when a case is said to be reported ex relatione, it is meant that the reporter derives his account of it, not from personal knowledge, but from the relation or narrative of some person who was present at the argument." By the way, the pronunciations in Black's, of certain Latin words, are incorrect. /s/ Paul Mitchell http://www.supremelaw.com At 07:13 AM 4/16/97 -0600, you wrote: >Paul, > >What does this mean?
