  Latitat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A latitat is a legal device, namely a writ, that is "based upon the presumption that the person summoned was hiding." (Blackstone)
One example from the 16th Century was a writ presented to the Star Chamber a powerful court operating outside the normal system of law.
The writ may have arisen in 1566 because at that time there was a 'Bill for Latitat for Vexation out of the King's Bench' before Parliament and there was another in 1802.

 Talk:Latitat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the first place, latitat, for much of its history, refers to a procedure using a bill and not a writ at all.
The article does not make clear that it was devised as a procedural dodge in order to bring cases in the King's Bench rather than the Common Pleas.
Secondly the article seems to think that the King's Bench was the only common law court and in England at least latitat is not "defunct" but abolished (along with the forms of action).

 Shakespeare Fellowship Discussion Boards: Clayton suit
If the sheriff returned to the bill "non est inventus," a writ of latitat was issued to the sheriff of an adjoining county.
The writ recited the bill of Middlesex and the proceedings thereon, stated that the defendant "latitat et discurrit" [“hiding and lurking”] in the county, and ordered the sheriff to catch him.
If he did not appear to the bill or latitat he was liable to be arrested for contempt of the court in not appearing.

 Susanne Jenks | Bill Litigation and the Observance of Sundays and Major Festivals in the Court of King's Bench in the ...
This writ was issued after the plaintiff had informed the court that the defendant lurked and roamed about in some other county (latitat et discurrit) and it was tested and dated like any other judicial writ.
In contrast to latitats issued during the mesne process on original writs, however, the latitats issued in litigation by bill were to be returned on a certain day within a return day.
Those Bills of Privilege, where the plea rolls only indicate that the defendants were attached to answer without giving the precise day when they were proffered, were most likely not dealt with in court on Sundays, simply because this day was never chosen as a return day.

 Underhill's Law
It thus came about that civil actions in the King's Bench were commenced by Bill of Middlesex, followed, if necessary, by a writ of latitat, and in either case by the arrest of the defendant, who had to give bail for his appearance.
This roundabout process, strange as it may seem, lasted for centuries, until it was abolished by the Common Law Procedure Act, 1854.
The defendant was arrested first by latitat, in an action for trespass.

 Legal Fictions and Common Law Legal Theory
Since the evil to be remedied was the fact that arrest on latitat was occurring without the description of the cause of action actually claimed by the plaintiff, the remedy was to prohibit obscurity in the papers.
The intent of this maneuvering is to have the advantage of summons by the advantageous summary process called latitat on the actual claim.
For this purpose, however, the bill need not ever have issued at all, and the final step in the process, reached sometime in the sixteenth century, is for the action to commence by latitat.

Yet latitat does not by any lexical evidence mean "strengthens": a frequentative or repetitive form of lateo (cf.
But those deities, and for that matter vultus/Tela vibrat, do little in their obvious contexts to parallel the notion that "Minerva lies hidden", since Harvey's images seem infused in and emanating from De Vere's totality, making a war-like image of Minerva that is hidden rather puzzling.
I suggest, instead or in addition, that Harvey chose Minerva latitat to connect De Vere to the goddess' role as patroness of the arts, especially of drama, and that Minerva is in large sense the Tela, the "enterprise", that "lies hidden" in his right (?

 Joyce - Papers: Joyce's Bad Words
The words, those first mad things that come into the head, are not simply associations or representations of taboos, but the taboos themselves.
Finnegans Wake is, by its own insistence, "antilibellous and nonactionable and this applies to its whole wholume" (FW 48.18-9), because Joyce, as the "sire of leery subs of dub" (FW 596.12), has rubbed and dubbed his words, "transtuled his funster's latitat" (FW 50.17; italics mine).
Daringly picking up what George Steiner speculates as perhaps the "only one universal --the incest taboo required, if it really is, for the preservation and development of the human species" (Steiner 82), Joyce brightens the word with the merest gesture of anagram ("to commence insects with him" [FW 414.27-8]).
