monition
/manishan/ In admiralty, formerly the summons to appear and answer, issued on filing the libel; which was either a simple monition in personam or an attachment and monition in rem. With the unification of the Admiralty Rules and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 1966, the monition was abolished.
@ general monition
In civil law practice, a monition or summons to all parties in interest to appear and show cause against the decree prayed for.
Practice.
A monition is a formal order of the court commanding something to be done by the person to whom it is directed, and who is called the "person monished." Thus, when money is decreed to be paid, a monition may be obtained commanding its payment.
In ecclesiastical procedure, a monition is an order monishing or warning the party complained against to do or not to do a certain act "under pain of the law and contempt thereof." A monition may also be appended to a sentence inflicting a punishment for a past offense; in that case the monition forbids the repetition of the offense
