QUOD COMPUTET

quod computet (kwod kom-py<<schwa>>-tet). [Law Latin “that he account”] The first

judgment in an action of account, requiring the defendant to give an accounting before auditors.

— Also termed judgment quod computet.

“In this action, if the plaintiff succeeds, there are two judgments: the first is, that the

defendant do account (quod computet) before auditors appointed by the court; and, when such

account is finished, then the second judgment is, that he do pay the plaintiff so much as he is

found in arrear.” 3 William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 163 (1768). [Blacks Law 8th]
