cognizor

cognizor (kog-ni-z[schwa]r or -zor). Hist. The grantor of land in a conveyance by fine.

— Also termed conusor; conuzor. See FINE(1).

“Next comes the concord, or agreement itself, after leave obtained from the court; which is usually an acknowledgment … that the lands in question are the right of the complainant. And from this acknowledgment, or recognition of right, the party levying the fine is called the cognizor, and he to whom it is levied the cognizee.” 2 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 350–51 (1766).
