Court procedure
A caveat is, in court rules, a notice lodged with the court so that a particular step is not taken without the person who lodged it being told.
What does Caveat mean in plain words?
The Sindh High Court Original Side Rules mention caveats in two settings. In probate and letters of administration, a caveat is lodged against a grant, and notice of it is given to the petitioner; the caveator must file an affidavit within eight days. In admiralty matters, a caveat can be entered against the arrest of a ship or property, its release, or payment out of court, and it does not stay in force for more than six months. Other courts and other kinds of case may follow different rules.
When will I hear Caveat?
Before a grant of probate was made, the caveator was given notice to file an affidavit in support of the caveat.
