CONTINUANDO

continuando (k<<schwa>>n-tin-yoo-an-doh). [Law Latin “by continuing”] Hist. An allegation charging that the trespass or other wrongful act complained of constitutes a continuing tort against the plaintiff’s property.

“In trespasses of a permanent nature, where the injury is continually renewed, (as by spoiling or consuming the herbage with the defendant’s cattle) the declaration may allege the injury to have been committed by continuation from one given day to another, (which is called laying the action with a continuando) and the plaintiff shall not be compelled to bring separate actions for every day’s separate offence.” 3 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 212 (1768). [Blacks Law 8th]
