ID NON AGEBATUR

id non agebatur (id non aj-<<schwa>>-bay-t<<schwa>>r). [Law Latin] Scots law. That was

not done.

“The meaning of the words as they occur here is this: the deceased, when he valued the subjects, did not intend to depreciate their value for the purpose of benefiting the executor, — this was not in his consideration at all — this was not what he did (id non agebatur) by the valuation; therefore, the executor is bound for the true value of the subjects.” John Trayner, Trayner’s Latin Maxims 245 (4th ed. 1894).
