Code of Organization and Civil Procedure (Cap. 12), article 407

407. Where the jactitator, on appearing before the court, declares, by means of a note, that he has no claim against the plaintiff or his property, as the case may be, according to the demand in the sworn application, the court shall not dispose of the merits, but shall only adjudge on the costs, where necessary; and in such case the said declaration of the jactitator shall have the same effect as an injunction of perpetual silence and it shall no longer be lawful for the jactitator to proceed on the claim to which the demand refers. Fixing of time to jactitator. Amended by: XV.1913.94.
