“Formerly all writs which passed the signet were procured by presentation of a bill (or petition) for such writ. The bill was perused and considered by the Lord Ordinary on the Bills, and if he was satisfied, the bill was passed and the writ issued: the latter bearing the words ex deliberatione Dominorum Concilii to signify that the bill had been considered. These words are still appended to almost all writs which pass the signet, but they are now only words of style, since the writs are now passed periculo petentis without being submitted to the Lords.” John Trayner, Trayner’s Latin Maxims 196–97 (4th ed. 1894).
